relax, its totally normal...

ps-unless you want to get preg right away, I'd wait on the sex until your doc can check you out and get you on some kind of BC... good luck!

I bled for about two weeks, stopped, and had sex around two and a half weeks.  Then i started bleeding again @ 4weeks.  I thought it was my period but my doc said No, since i was exclusively breastfeeding, that was very unlikely.  It lasted 5-6 days like a period, tho, and very heavy.  Now, around 8 weeks, i started bleeding again but lasted only 1 day.

The thing is, i think it can be off/on for a while, 6 weeks or even more, whether your birth was vag or c-section.  Are you on any birth control?  That could effect things, too.  If you're worried. tho, call your doc.  Good luck!

I would say yes, it's normal, since postpartem bleeding can last up to six weeks.
