I've been bleeding non-stop for 3 months after having my son! A: For most women, the bleeding that happens after a delivery (whether it is a vaginal delivery or a C-section) lasts no more than 6 weeks on average. Some women only bleed for 4 weeks, and some can bleed for up to 8 weeks. The bleeding that happens after delivery occurs because the lining of the uterus, which has grown to be very thick during pregnancy, sloughs off after delivery and removal of the placenta.
At first, the flow of lochia will be heavy and bright red, and may have clots in it. Gradually, it will change to pink then brown, and eventually to yellow-white. You may bleed for as little as two weeks to three weeks, or for as long as six weeks after having your baby.The flow will gradually become less. Red lochia usually tapers off within the first couple of weeks, though if you try to do too much too soon, it may start flowing again. The bleeding becomes persistently fresher (bright red) and heavier four days or more after giving birth, even after you rest. 2  You pass lots of large blood clots that are bigger than a 50p piece. 3  You start to feel faint or dizzy. 4  Your heartbeat starts to race, or becomes irregular (Marchant 2009: 667-8, NICE 2006:11) .
