Question about recovery after giving birth...TMI

if you don't mind me asking, for how long were you still bleeding when you got home? Days? Weeks?

about 5 or 6 weeks. It started getting lighter around 4 weeks then it was so sporadic for another week or so. Very light

Re: Question about recovery after giving birth...TMI

Almost 6 weeks. It was really heavy for the first 2 weeks, then kind of tapered off into spotting mostly. There were some days thrown in that were a little heavier than just spotting though.

I am a little over 6 weeks and I am still spotting. It stopped completely around 4 weeks and then came back.

Re: Question about recovery after giving birth...TMI

I'm in my second week and already see a difference. My issue is more being uncomfortable from all the stitching when I sit or get up. I had an episiotomy and then I tore even more because the Dr. had to use a vacuum. Thankfully I am not in that much pain anymore. Chat Icon

TMI:
After baby #2 and #3 I had a shot to help me stop bleeding (I started hemorrhaging right after birth) and the doctors actually scrapped blood out of me to stop the bleeding. So I think that might have played a big role in why I bleed for such a short time after.
