Taaaaaaaaaaa Tam

Defo makes up for the no periods! Funny how you think oh no period pains no bleeding then for me I had spotting at the start the pains don't go away infact they are stressful and the bleeding just takes the **** at the end to make up for lost time or something

Its horrid isnt it! And some women have been known to continue bleeding for more than 6 weeks! Lets hope we aint one of them! Worst thing is whats bound to happen is we finally stop bleedin..and then our period starts back! Marvelous! Ive had enough now..Im uncomfortable, sore and itchy from wearing pads all the time and i feel dirty, damp and smelly all the time. eeew. x

uahhh, it is very unpleasant, since you sweat more after giving birth, what makes the smell not better!

in the beginning, I had to take a shower twice a day.

my bleeding has stopped now, gladly

Hi ya
its not nice is it- but isnt it strange how you forget all the bad bits after a while!! lol. Everyone is different and bleeds vary from 2-6 weeks on average and can sometimes last longer. I think generally speaking mine got less each time i gave birth. The first was about 3-4 weeks tho, then i had my period 3 weeks later. x

I bled heavily for the first week or so, then I had very light bleeding and it stopped, then it started up and was heavy again (like a normal period for me). I felt smelly, horrible, sore and itchy too.. wearing those pads for a week is long enough. I finally stopped and then got my period a few days later! (think my bleeding was about 6 weeks including the period).

So yes you can bleed for up to 6 weeks or even longer! it's a pain in ze ass!
