How long do you bleed after you have a baby

Totally depends on the person.

They say c-section moms bleed less.

Every mom is different , I bled for 4 weeks

C-section moms don't bleed less. Your blood flow and how much you bleed is based upon how quickly you heal from where your placenta detaches from your uterus. The standard time frame for most women is 6 to 8 weeks. Regardless if you stop bleeding prior to that you should take it easy for the first 6 weeks because you can irritate your uterus if you over exert yourself. When the placenta detaches it leaves you with a wound and it essentially has to "scab over" just like when you scrape your knee and over use it, it's same concept with postpartum! But all women are different though I've never heard anything less than 4 weeks.

My little one is 3 weeks today and I’m still spotting . Nothing heavy. This will probably take a whole other week to completely stop fingers crossed 🤞🏼 lol

@jennatess I believe it's true because they vacuum out a lot of the blood? I saw it after getting up off the table. Not a lovely sight. I barely bled after my C section with my twins. It was like a short light period. Probably less then 2 weeks

@ladyfreyja, yeah! My doctor told me they do extra care cleaning up before closing you up. Like, they carefully remove our placenta where as a vagina birth the mother has to push it out on her own.

@jennatess, not so I bleed for 7wks then got my normal period

@jennatess, with a c section

@chynabovian2174, and I bled for about 5. I’m just saying, the general consensus is that c-sec moms bleed less. I mean, that’s just what my two OBGYNs and the internet says. It’s a guide. Not a fast and hard rule.

@jennatess, ohokay I misunderstood😒

Im on week 4, I’d say with all mine its 5-6 weeks but at this point its not heavy its just a tiny panty liner

My baby is almost two weeks and now I’m spotting , not having full bleeding . I assume it may be on and off for 4-6 weeks but mine is not heavy at all. Are you still bleeding heavily ?

@expectinggreatness, no not heavy at all I’m not in no pain or sore or n e thing

@brittany88, my hips started hurting today 🙄just when I said I wasn’t sore lol

@expectinggreatness, my hips hurt bad the other night i jus want the bleeding to stop i promise I’m still not going to have sex lol my sons 10 days old n i still need a pad it can b the same pad all day but i still need a pad

@brittany88, my son is 14 days old. I can’t believe 2 weeks went by that fast ! I’m still wearing a pad too. I would like the bleeding/spotting to stop 100% too. Glad I’m not alone with the hip pain 😂😂😂😂I guess my hips are going back into place since they had to pop to push out a human lol .
