I bled about 6 weeks with my first two children. This is baby 3. The bleeding flow should become less as more time passes. So if its real heavy you may want to call the OB.

With my first I bled for about 5 weeks, with my second I bled for 6 and then almost immediatley afterward started my period, so I didn't get much light bleeding either,if it's still really heavy and there is still clotting I would call your ob and let them know.

Is it still pink? I am 5 weeks postpartum now (OMG has it been that long?!) and have completely stopped, it stopped being heavy about 3 weeks ago. I did notice when I went back to work (and was working harder than my body was ready for) I would start to bleed again. Regardless, I would talk to your midwife. Do you have another things going on, i.e clotting like jamie said or fevers or severe cramping, and is getting brighter? Hope it goes away soon!

It sucks I know, one of the "perks" to being pregnant is the no period thing and then all the sudden you make up for 9 months of no bleeding!

I bled for at least 4 - 6 weeks after giving birth to my first 2 sons. Keep taking your prenatal vitamins so your iron doesn't get low. Drink lots of water. Sleep when baby sleeps.

I bled for 2 months with my daughter and 3 months with my son. I did have to have a blood transfusion while still in the hospital after having my son, and then again about 2 1/2 months after he was born. Cherbear is right, keep taking your prenatals. I also had to take an extra iron supplement (along with a stool softener.. ugh) because I bled for so long, but the iron does help!

i bled for nearly 6 months with my son, so my doc put me on the pill to get my hormones back to normal. but i have heard the average time is around 6 or 7 weeks.
but as you can see every single person is different.
i hope all is going well with your little girl by the way! big big big big hugs!

i only bleed for two to three weeks but even with my periods i only bleed for two to three day so i think it depends on the person
