    It's normal to have bleeding up to 6 weeks after giving birth. Here, menstruation started 8 weeks after delivery. The bleeding stopped around 4 weeks postpartum.

    I've been bleeding for 2 weeks.
    After 4.5 weeks, I got my period again.

    I think I actually bled for about 1.5 weeks, then there was a bit of old blood after that, especially with a lot of exertion.

    Now 10 weeks postpartum and still no period, luckily!

    I had bleeding for 3 weeks, then nothing for a few days, and after 4 weeks, I got my period for the first time.

    I had bleeding for 5 weeks after giving birth.
    She was born on March 24th, and I still haven't gotten my period back.
    I don't miss it though, I actually find it nice like this without a period

    I gave birth a month ago and I’m still wearing that old postpartum pad. It’s a bit of an old light brown color now, but it also smells a bit like urine. When I exert myself, I feel the flow, but I’m not sure if it’s old blood or urine. I mainly notice it when I’m holding the baby and, for example, stand up from the bed or the couch, so I can’t push with my hands.
