Bleeding after having baby?

Question

Answer 1

I have had 3-I stopped after about 2 weeks with all of them. The longest was at 3 weeks. I got my period again within a month. It should go back to normal pretty quick. The best thing you can do is-call the doc and ask.

Answer 2

Well I bleed for 4 weeks and got my period back at 7 weeks, they say that any were from 2-6 weeks for bleeding and 4-10 (at VERY most) for period.( I am talking about week 4-10 after baby)( ps I did not breast feed so that is why mine came back in that time frame but if you breat feed then it can take a LONG time)

Answer 4

I stopped bleeding after 2 1/2 weeks. My period came back after 2 months and I breastfed.

Answer 5

I stopped bleeding the first week I was home from the hospital, when my son was 9 days old. But my sister bled for 8 weeks, and my other sister bled for 6. It really just depends on your body.... As for normal periods, it may be a while. Again, same answer- depends on your body: My period was back a month after my son was born, but both of my sisters still haven't gotten theirs and both of their kids are over 4 months old now.

Answer 6

I stopped bleeding less than 2 weeks after giving birth to my son, my period started about 2 to 2 1/2 months later, however I was only able to breastfeed for 2 weeks before becoming ill and not able to feed him. But normally women who breastfeed may not have their periods return for a while, as long as they continue breastfeeding.

Answer 7

Every woman is different...I typically stop bleeding after 4 weeks and I didn't get my first period for 9-10 months! Breastfeeding will have an effect on this. Good luck!

Answer 8

Consider yourself lucky. Mine also stopped quickly and I was glad. Unless you begin to have foul smelling discharge, I say jump for joy. As for the period, that depends. Are you breastfeeding? exclusivly? maybe 4-6 months. Formula feeding or supplementing? Sooner maybe in a month or two. Just tote some tampons just in case.

Answer 9

I bled for almost 6 weeks,after 5 months my period came back.I also had a c-section but I don't think you bleed more than a vaginal birth,not really sure actually.I pumped and fed till 5 months.Congratulations!!I saw you on here many times before you had your daughter!!Isn't it amazing!!

Answer 10

Everyone's different. With my 1st two(both vaginal deliveries) I only bled 2 1/2 wks. With my twins (c-section) it was more like 5 wks. As for period returning, it may take couple of months, BUT if you're breastfeeding, you may not have one at all until you stop. That's how mine was!
