Blood flow is usually heavier immediately after your c-section and continues for about 4-5 days. Your bleeding will taper off and get lighter after about 10-12 days. Typically bleeding lasts about 3-4 weeks in total but can go for as long as 6 weeks.
C-section delivery may cause heavy bleeding in the first few days (5). It may be due to incisions during the surgery and uterine wall repair. Do not use tampons for six weeks as they increase the risk of infection in the uterus and vagina. Though the flow is heavy, you should constantly check it.
