#1: six weeks of bleeding and spotting (hospital birth with episiotomy and cord traction)

#2: 2 weeks, 6 days (waterbirth @ home)

#3: around 4 weeks of bleeding and spotting (another waterbirth @ home) **I think bleeding longer this time was caused by the fact that my hubby had one day off of work and that was it- I did not rest as much as I should have **

This, my second, time has been confusing.

I bleed heavy for 3-5 days then spotted after that. I had a c-section(ds was breech).

My sis had a natural birth and has just been spotting after the first 2 wks.

I don't have an answer yet as baby just turned 1 month, and I'm still bleeding. I'm glad I found this thread, though. I was going to start it myself. I was led to believe that the bleeding would be over by now. It seems to come and go- ruined a lot of pairs of panties. Beginning to pi** me off.

I've been walking a lot- my son LOVES to ride in the stroller. I think I have a budding botonist (no pun intended)- the boy loves to stare at trees. But maybe I'm over-doing it? I'd hate to give up our walks, though.
