Mine was not a full term delivery, but it's been almost two weeks and I am still spotting and have some periods of heavier bleeding.

It just varies between women. Textbooks say that it's 4-6 weeks on average. I bled/spotted til about Week 5 both times.

I had a C/S and bled off and on for a full 11 weeks.
I noticed that if I was exerting myself too much, I'd start to bleed again.

@tequiero21: It was just over three weeks. But I'm 6.5 weeks pp now, and still have a slight yellowish discharge and slight odor as well.

vaginal... bled for 2 weeks, then had complications (membranes left inside me started coming out, doc tore it out and bleeding & contracting started all over again) and started all over again and bled for another 2 weeks.

I am 5 weeks PP and I still have some going on. I still have some cramping on and off, too. = ( It's light, but not light enough that I can't wear a liner.

Vaginal and bled for 8-10 weeks... can't remember exact length of time. Just remember that I wasn't very happy that I was still bleeding.

I was heavy for 4 weeks, spotting for 2 and then heavy for another week or so. So in total between 6-8 weeks. When I went in for my PP check up at 6 weeks I was thinking I was getting my period again!
