It's different for everyone because I bled for 8 weeks. My stiches were better by then, but the bleeding lasted forever.

I bled for 2 weeks exactly with my first 2 kids. Didnt tear with either but the swelling went down after a few days :). Walking around and drinking lots of fluids really helps the healing process go smoother and quicker.

When i had my daughter i bled for about 2 1\2 weeks, stitches take 6 weeks. DO NOT have sex until the 6 weeks is up. I did after i stopped bleeing and it took twice as long to heal and i didnrt tear thatbad i inly had like 2 stitches.
