About a week if that, and it was very light. Lighter then when I would get my cycle.

I bled for about a month, but I tore too. So it depends on how your delivery goes. Mine was heavy the whole time.

I bled for about 3.5 weeks. If your breastfeeding it can cause uterin contractions which causes little squirts for blood to come out (yuk!) But some times it can take up to 12 weeks to stop bleeding.
