I thought it would b worth finding this out as it may b helpful 4 new mums n those not far from becoming a mum.

I am @ 4.5 week pb and my lochia is just about a drop per day @ the moment. DTD makes it heavier 4 a day n then it goes back 2 the drop. vv annoying as really want 2 dtd without worrying bout giving DH his red wings n have had pn infection. gp had told me 2 wait till it finishes but it think it's finished then we dtd n it comes back. GRRRRR!

Mods, feel free 2 either delete this or poll it, i cant find the poll option.

I had it quite heavy for about 2 weeks. fter that , it just got lighter and lighter but didnt stop entirely until about 5 weeks post birth.

1st was 10 days
2nd was 4 1/2 weeks

I'm assuming it was longer this time because I had a VD not a C/S?

Mine finished about 1.5wks, but I still have some bleeding but I think its irriatation of my stitches. Haven't tried DTD yet, very eager - haha - but dh wants to wait (how patient of him) until the stitches heal.

about 5 and a half weeks, fluctuated in strength with exercise etc. I also think I ovulated in the last week or so as it did become like egg white but red. if that makes any sence.
