I don't know why they say it takes 6 weeks for your recovery and that'll you'll most likely bleed the whole time
I stopped bleeding 4 days after my daughter came
@motherlotus, my water broke but I was stuck at a 3 for almost 8 hours and they gave me potosin and had an epidural but I got checked 2 weeks after and I was fine and healed somehow
Everyone is different. My midwife told me that people who are induced and get epidurals will bleed longer and have more pain post partum... Which was true for me with my first. Bled for 6 weeks and was in so much pain. Post partum recovery was awful. Going all natural this time so we will see if it's any easier...
