But I guess it is pretty normal. An RN friend told me that I'll see more bleeding/contractions for longer period of time with each baby... interesting. I am EBF and have not started a period since... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-postpartum-bleeding-stop#post-1141095 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 16:08:25 +0000 Mrsbells 1141095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was on and off for about 4-6 weeks.. it was annoying </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-postpartum-bleeding-stop#post-1141094 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 16:06:59 +0000 jh524 1141094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 weeks....fun stuff </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-postpartum-bleeding-stop#post-1140380 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 11:56:59 +0000 lawbee11 1140380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 3 weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-postpartum-bleeding-stop#post-1140377 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 11:55:23 +0000 meredithNYC 1140377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 6 weeks.

Then I had random bleeding at 7 weeks for a day.

Never heavy bleeding, though! I'm 15 weeks pp and haven't had any spotting for 5 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-postpartum-bleeding-stop#post-1140365 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 11:52:59 +0000 junebugmama 1140365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: 15 months or so.

I often feel like I'm pulling a muscle or something down there if I get up off the floor awkwardly and it's starting the bleeding again :(</p> <p>@Pepper: 10wks?! Aww. I was trying to decide how many more pads I need to order... guess it could be quite a few! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-postpartum-bleeding-stop#post-1140340 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 11:46:03 +0000 junebugmama 1140340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Honestly I don't really have an answer.
