I delivered my baby 2 weeks ago and the bleeding is still going on, lighter than before but still there. How long does this usually continue after delivery? Just want to know whats normal yaar.
While I was at my parents' house, my mom took such good care of me during those 5 weeks of postpartum bleeding. It naturally reduces, but do tell your doc if it suddenly gets heavy.
My doctor said lochia can last anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks, gradually changing color. But she specifically told me to call if I pass large clots or have heavy bleeding.
My mother advised me to take complete rest for 6 weeks as the bleeding stops slowly. Trust your doctor's guidance and call them if you feel too weak or have fever.
Expect it to last 4 to 6 weeks, it's called lochia. Use heavy pads, avoid tampons, and if you start bleeding through a pad in an hour, contact your gynac immediately.
