Still bleeding

I am now 3wks and 2 days post c/s.  I was just wondering how much longer I can expect to bleed.  I just had a rather large gush of blood followed by some clots (sorry for the TMI).  Is that normal?  I'm so tired of wearing pads.  I just want it to end.

With my first I bled for close to 9 weeks. Sucked. This time it was about 2 1/2. Very normal to still be bleeding at 3 weeks out.

I bled for about 3-4 weeks after my first C-section and about 2 weeks after my 2nd.  I'd probably be concerned if it went on after a month- maybe 5 weeks.  If you are still bleeding at your 6 week appt. definitely tell the dr.

I was still bleeding at 6 weeks when I went in to get my IUD.  My dr wasn't concerned.  It stopped a week later if I remember correctly.

i came to ask this exact question!  I am almost 4 weeks post op and still bleeding. I stopped for days.  Switched from heavy pads and wham i get another heavt gush.  I guess its normal. TY OP and PP's!

I bled at least 4 weeks.  My suggestion is to buy the always infinity pads.  Theyre nice and small, but hold moisture well so you feel as human as possible wearing a pad.  I was so happy when I could finally wear a tampon after 6 weeks!  Lol
