Darn it girl, why isn't that baby out yet???

I heard it can last anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks. I also heard that you are supposed to wait til you get the ok from your doctor before you start exercising... But its different with every doctor and person, ask yours what they think you should do.

I bled for 6 weeks!!!!!!--vry lightly though

Stacey, baby will be out on friday. I hope I bleed lightly lol but knowing my luck it wont go the way I want it. Thanks yall for the help.

It just depends on the person huni. I hope the bleeding is light and short lived.

Well at first (sorry kinda gross) its quite a bit with clots.. But thats only the first few days.. Usually bout 2 weeks u'll bleed... Im now just gettin it very very lightly, but if u increase activity (such as walking lots in one day) ur bleeding can come back and that'll last up to 6 weeks... After that, it should stop. But if u breastfeed, u dont get ur period so u can hold off that for another few weeks lol!

Im not breastfeeding so I guess thats outa the ? Lol. Thanks yall for informin me.

How much do you bleed after this?

You cannot use tampons, right?

----i'm not pregnant, just curious!

No no tampons only pads and only extra thick ones or so I hear

I dont know if you guys have the brand there, but here we have libra goodnights with wings, they are also designed for maternity use and are thin pads, but the soak up really well......
As for post partum bleeding it normally lasts from 2-6 weeks, first heavy some times with clots, any clots larger than your thumb nail in the first few hours should be shown to a nurse just in case.... After the first few days the bleeding should go to about the same as a period, then gradually go lighter and become a browny colour, if you bleed for 4 weeks, generally the bleeding after four weeks may get a little heavier because it will be your first period since the birth, after that you will be normal again, and can start using tampons again for your next period.
