still bleeding after 8 days

well I had a c section but if I remember right my bleeding lasted almost 3 weeks.

i think i bled for about 3-4 weeks. they say you can even bleed up to your 6 week. all woman are different. JUST REMEMBER!!! if you soak one pad withing an hour each time, then oyu might wanna call them.

Wanna read my birth story? Check out my profile!!

I bled like that for about 2 weeks and after that it started to lighten up unless I did things I shouldnt have. Like walking around too much...doing heavy lifting and whatnot. But it really is different with every woman. Like the previous poster, if you soke a pad in an hour or less...or just over really, then you need to go back to your doc/OB/midwife. That's not ok. But one every 2-3 hours is about right.

I bled for six weeks with my first.

Make a pregnancy ticker

Mine daughter is 17 days old and I still have a little blood occasionally. I bled pretty regularly for the first 2 weeks.

ok so its nothing to worry about then if its a week or two or three right?

I stoped bleeding about 2 weeks after... My son is 3 weeks old and im not bleeding any more :-))

But when I had my daughter I think I bleed for a long long long time  becase I got the depo shot and was always bleeding and it suxed!!! (Wouldn't reccomend the depo shot to NOBODY!)

For me ..with both boys...a couple weeks before it stopped totally . Yeah it sucks...but....what are ya gonna do? heh 

I bleed for 9 weeks with my second.  If it goes over 9 weeks or goes from light flow to heavy flow you should be concerned

 Honestly I do not remember w/ my first. But this is what baby center says

For the first few days after birth lochia contains a fair amount of blood, so it will be bright red and look like a heavy menstrual period. It may come out intermittently in small gushes or flow more evenly. If you've been lying down for a while and blood has collected in your vagina, you may see some small clots when you get up.

If everything proceeds normally, you'll have a bit less discharge each day, and by two to four days after you've given birth, the lochia will be more watery and pinkish in color. By about ten days after the birth, you should have only a small amount of white or yellow-white discharge, mostly composed of white blood cells and cells from the lining of the uterus.

The amount will taper off before it stops, a process that generally takes another two to four weeks, though a small number of women continue to have scant lochia or intermittent spotting for a few more weeks.
