  • Mine didnt last as long as 16 days but it was awful. I couldnt believe how heavy & painful it was.

  • Mine went on for 2 weeks and was really heavy. I spoke to the health visitor today who said it is quite normal,doesn't make it any better though! Here is hoping next month is better.
  • When did you have your baby? Are you sure its not lochia (postnatal bleeding)? Cuz I was bleeding heavily after i had lo for a few weeks, then got lighter, then it came back heavier than ever that I even went to the hospital to find out it was still postnatal bleeding. All my bleeding stopped at about 6 weeks postpartum..then I got my first period at about 2.5 months postpartum and they last only a few days and are back on regular schedule.
  • Lily is 7 and a half weeks old, I bled for 2/3wks then it stopped completely for 2 weeks but then I got all the normal stuff like bloating, spots, cramping the night before I came on which made me think it is my period. I suppose I'll just have to wait and see what happens.x
  • mine lasted 4 weeks but it was quite light compared to what they were like before lo!
