    i have had 2 c sections.
    my first i bled for a week, it was like a heavy period, stopped for a week then i got my period.

    this time around, after my c section the nurses had to change my bed sheets 3 times because they were soaked , after coming home i had very very large blood clots and heavy bleeding but now it has been 3 weeks tomorrow and its just stopped

    I bled quite heavily for about 3 weeks. I had an elective at 38+4 weeks.

    I have quite heavy periods and the bleeding after baby was much worse..

    I think my lochia was heavier with DS (VBAC) than with my c/s for sure. Although I did have a drain in my scar not sure if that makes any difference. And with my c/s I got AF at 4 weeks on the dot! I had lochia probably for about 2 weeks with c/s and about 5 weeks with DS (VBAC).
