It's been over 4 weeks for me now, but it's pretty light. It had slowed down at 2 weeks, but then I went to the hospital to attend the breastfeeding group there, and all of a sudden blood started gushing out, I soaked through my pad and my jeans in less than a minute. I thought I was hemorraging! There was blood everywhere! Luckily, I was already in the hospital so the nurses grabbed me and checked me out. They said that it wasn't a hemorrhage because it stopped after a few minutes and it was probably a major letdown by my uterus caused by a hormone surge being near so many crying and breastfeeding babies. It was so scary! They had to give me scrubs, mesh undies, and a giant hospital pad to wear home since my stuff was unwearable. Luckily, it hasn't happened again.

4 weeks and 2 days and I'm still leaking a tiny bit. Will be nice when it finally stops.
