I bled for about 8 weeks. I didn't get on birth control right away so I ended up with periods every 14 days. It was awful.

Had my daughter on the 19th and the bleeding isn't too bad. It could be worse so I'm ok with it :-) obviously it's only been a few days but when I miscarried at 15 weeks I bled for like 2-2.5 weeks
