[keshae18]

I had my baby on 4/16 is it normal that I'm not bleeding anymore? Like maybe one drop a day now but its not even bright red its brownish like the finishing of a prd?!

I will take that @watermelon15 lol thanks ladies

@keshae maybe you just have good blood clotting. As in your blood doesn't bleed out for long. Just be glad (:

I had my baby. By c section on 4/14 and am breastfeeding and have hardly any bleeding as well just spotting

[keshae18]

Nope I'm not breast feeding but I am moving around a lot

I bled super heavy the first 2 days then it tapered off to spotting for 3 weeks. I was breastfeeding.

@cm
are you bleeding heavily? My friends who breastfeed either stopped after 2 weeks or just spotted for for up to 5-6 weeks.

Interesting. I bled for 6 weeks and am breastfeeding.

Normal, everyone is different. I was thinking I would be bleeding like a dieing animal for 6 weeks. I only bleed mildly for the first 2 days. Then very light for about a week later. Are you breastfeeding? Because that also helps your uterus shrink and can help the bleeding stop. I'm hoping this time around it is the same for me. I still wore a pantyliner for a week after I stopped just incase. Also getting up and walking around will help get it all out too. I was back on my feet about an hour after giving birth.
