How long did your lochia last post baby?

[~clover~]

I can't remember after my girls, but I remember after DS I bled for 8 weeks all up. Only very, very light, but for that long.

This time we are only 2.5 weeks in & I think it's stopped already... Is that normal? Or should I be expecting it to come back? I'm still using liners, but haven't had spotting or anything at all for 3 or 4 days now.

20 days. And it was quite light towards the end. I had spotting for 4 days at 7 weeks, then AF turned up at 12 weeks.

Mine came and went a bit, but was all finished by 5 weeks, then a tiny bit of spotting until 6 weeks.

I think all my belly buddies were 4-6 weeks.

6 weeks

I don't remember it being too long? Maybe 2-3wks?

6ish weeks

Looks like everyone is different, in my case I bled for about a month.

2 weeks with DD2.
i put it down to breastfeeding and a non traumatic birth and no stitches etc..

with DD from memory i bled for 6ish weeks, this time it seems to have all but stopped after 2.5/3weeks

cool, thanks guys
hoping af stays away for at least the 9 months it did with DS!

DD was 6ish weeks same with DS - although the last few weeks was just spotting with him.

Wow! I didn't realise it could be that long! I only bled for 10 days and it wasn't really that heavy (I'd been warned to expect a flood.).

Still going at 4 weeks....can't remember with DD

Prob 2 weeks at the longest for me, and it was fairly light too, and mainly when I BF. Still haven't got AF back and not missing it in the slightest!

6 weeks with DS, not quite as long with DD.

DS1 .. everyday for 8.5 weeks , stopped the day they sent me for an internal ultrasound to see why i was still bleeding (it was very heavy)
DS2 .. 5 weeks, heavy for the two weeks then slowly eased off
DS3 .. 6 weeks everyday was different one day i would go through three pads then the next i would only have to wear a liner
