    Question How long did your lochia last post baby?

    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.

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

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