bleeding after having baby

how long after having the baby does it take for your period to stop? its just i have had a period now for 6 weeks!! :dohh:
i have been taking my pill as this should stop it but its not worked

Hey hun im not sure if everyone is different but i was bleeding for nearly over 2months...it slowed down towards the end but felt like it was everlasting....xx

I'm STILL bleeding and it's almost 9 weeks since I've had Kaida.

oh god, at least i'm not the only one then! its just with my first it was only about 2 weeks!

my gosh :shock:

my friend was only 2 weeks!!! :( mine has def slowed down but another 7 weeks is NOT appealing!! Ive got bloody thrush as well .... sanitory towels are not nice!!

It's not a period, so the pill isn't going to stop it. It's the leftover lochia from having the baby. It's the wound from where the uterus was that's still bleeding. I bled for over 7 weeks.

Mine in the past has gone away in 3-4 weeks. Hope it will be the same this time around as I hate it! I am not a "pad" person either. LOL

I bleed for 3 weeks exactly just waiting for af now.

I bleed (not red bleeding the entire time but still had to wear a pad) for 5 and a half weeks, and once that ended I got my period :dohh:

That must suck! :hugs:

I bled for a total of 12 weeks! It was awful, and doctors were constantly taking bloods and I was on the verge of being sent to hospital to investigate but it stopped the week after but I am really hoping it wont last as long this time round ! I think everyone is different xxx

I stopped bleeding after 2 weeks and still no sign of my period. How long does it take to return afterwards?

If you are breast feeding you probably won't start your period until after you stop that.

Not sure about bottle feeders though. HV/GP always say start some contraceptive straight away though!

Goodness, could it be a tease for me today as I've hardly bled at all.

I know it must be a tease as I couldn't have stopped so soon. :rofl:
