How long did you have the post pardom bleeding? With my last baby my pp bleeding would come and go for several weeks. I would go 4,5,6 days and not bleed, and then it would start back up again. That would go on for awhile.I think I bleed like that for 4 weeks. I'm not sure if that is normal or not, I never talked to my Dr. about it, but I ended up being fine.

Are you talking about your actual period or the bleeding after you have your baby? How long has it been since you had your baby? The bleeding you have right after you have a baby isn't a period, it's postpardom bleeding. It's all the stuff left over coming out. And that usualy lasts from 2-4 weeks, but can last as long as 6 weeks.
Now if you are talking about your actual period, that should be normal after you have a baby. Having a baby shouldn't make it last for 2 weeks. If it's your actual period you are having, you might want to see your Dr. to make sure there is nothing wrong.
