I had an emergency section 1st time & a planned one 2nd time- to be honest I can't remember how long I bled for but why don't you talk to your midwife/heath visitor or your doctor to put your mind at ease.

according to this site it can be anything between 6 weeks & 3 months, have a look

make sure you try to do your exercises to help the stomach/uterus go smaller in size

hey

been meaning to say congratulations. replied to a few of your posts

how are you getting on?

i bled for months then when that stopped i had a heavy discharge. the blood clots were still coming out about 3 weeks after, but not many to be worried about

i was that gutted, i had big plans for going swimming with the little lady but wasn't able

my wee one is now 7 months and thats me now feeling 95% with healing

Sounds normal for you. Everyone's different, and I'm sure your health visitor or midwife'd be onto it if there was anything to worry about. Enjoy your new baby. x
