Mods, please move to appropriate forum.

You can bleed for up to 6 weeks. Doesn’t matter if it’s a natural childbirth or C-section.

Yep, I had 2 natural childbirths. I was still bleeding at my 6 week check up, both times. DH was not happy...

My maternity disability was extended due to the bleeding.

You can bleed for many weeks. Depends on the mom and pregnancy. You bleed regardless if it’s a c-section or not. I bled for a a couple weeks but it tapered off toward the end. However I was surprised about the golf ball sized clot that passed toward the end.

6 weeks.... I found, that extra activity prolonged things. I was not doing anything outside of caring for my baby for the first 2 weeks, it was tapering off... then I started doing chores because I was bored, and the flow got heavier until I chilled out again.

About 2 weeks each time. One was vaginal the other was a C-section.
