Bleeding after birth...

How long did you lovely ladies bleed for after you had the baby? My little girl is 4 weeks on Thursday, I had a natural birth and I'm not breastfeeding and I'm still bleeding :-( over the last week it really eased off and went to a very light brown but last night and today it has come back as red blood again. Does this sound normal or should I get checked out? It's not really heavy, kind of like the 2/3rd day of a normal period and I have dull periody type pains. Hmmmm...!

hi hon, dont worry same happened to me. i had a C and stopped bleeding after day 4/5, then at about 3 weeks i gushed and was really scared..it was red with a brown tinge. bleeding can last on and off for 6 weeks. you only need to worry if you pass any clots xx
