Period after c section

How long are people finding they are having their period for after their sections? I'm coming close to having a 2 week long period 🙈.. its only small amounts now compared to being quite heavy at the start but just wondering if anyone else was the same?

I bled for about 2 weeks after my section and just having my actual period now (10weeks pp) and i stopped bf 2 weeks ago and now just expressing

@Jordan I've been having a period for almost 2 weeks 🙈 I didn't know if this was normal x

@Kimberley i think it is normal as it regulates again! Just aslong as there are no clots bigger than your palm or bleed through a pad in an hour (i think, don’t quote me) if im doubt just check with the doc! X

But i think you can have delayed bleeding too as every 2 weeks id have blood and small clots

@Jordan ahhh great thank you! I've started the pill again I think my body has just taken a huge hit 🤣 x

I had my first period 7 weeks and the 2nd 12 weeks. Both were sooo heavy and painful for 6 days and then just stopped. Usually they gradually get lighter but these postpartum ones have been brutal so far x

I'm currently on week 7 of my period lol been told it's normal by my GP

Glad I'm not alone here ladies!! So annoying hey 🫣
