    Bleeding after pregnancy
    How long do you normally bleed after pregnancy? I gave birth to my daughter on Feb. 23rd and am still bleeding. It was a vaginal birth and I am breastfeeding but it just seems like a long time ago to still be bleeding this much. Is this normal?

    As far as I remember, you can expect heavy bleeding for about two weeks after the birth, then lighter bleeding for about the next four weeks. By six weeks, it should be drying up, or getting a lot lighter.

    How much bleeding are you getting?

    You should consult your doctor.

    This is a bit too long to be bleeding, primarily because you are breastfeeding. Time to consult your doctor.
