How long did everyones bleeding last after giving birth? Im getting so sick of pads :p
I know the feeling! I have had 3 kids and the bleeding pretty much lasted a full 6 weeks for me. I absolutely hated it. I did have my kids vaginal though, I don't know if its different with a c-section.
I think I wore liners through 12 weeks. After week 5 or 6 bleeding was very light/minimal but I didn't want to chance it.
3 to 4 weeks (and this is what they DON'T tell you about in the birthing classes!)
About 3 weeks each time :-/
6 weeks.. it is normal as long as it is gradually getting less and less.. if you start bleeding heavily.. lay down take it easy.. and call the dr.
It was different with all 3. The shortest bleeding was with my second, maybe a couple weeks at all. The longest was with my third. With her I had break through bleeding on and off the entire 6 weeks then I started a full and proper period at 6 weeks.
All 3 were exclusively breastfed, on demand, with no pacifiers or bottles of any kind. Nothing done differently with any of them.
But, even when the bleeding stopped I still had all manner of discharge so I still had to at least have a panty liner for the full 6 weeks.
About 4 weeks after both of my pregnancies.
With my 3rd , it lasted 6 to 7 weeks. I think I should've taken it a bit easier.
If you are bleeding a lot, that means you are doing too much. I only really bleed for a about 5 days, and then I would bleed off and on based on activity level. All the bleeding stop by 3 weeks with this third pregnancy.
At my 6 week checkup I was still bleeding so my doctor gave me some kind of medicine that made it stop. (2nd child)
I think it was around 4 weeks with my first and third.
Four weeks, with spotting into the fifth week. Was afraid I'd have to postpone my six-week appointment, but thankfully it stopped by then. Seemed like forever! Hang in there.
Four weeks of heavy bleeding then it slowed down quite a bit. By my 6 week appointment it had stopped entirely.
It seems like forever, though!
..long enough to where i dont want to have to ever do it again..
K. h.
Ooooh, Thats been YEARS ago. I think about 2 weeks.
3 to 4 weeks.
Although the heaviest was the first 2 weeks as the uterus was majorly contracting.
Weeks 3 and 4 was better and I had some spotting and discharge into week 5 and maybe into week 6.
It was 14 yrs ago and I was pretty sleep deprived at the time so my memory about it isn't so great.
Somewhere between 3-4 weeks, off and on. Infinity can be your friend.
