But it's not far away at the same time! It's really only a month! I still can't believe it. But it's so exciting. Hope everything goes well for you and your little princess.

No problem!...I like to help when I can. This forum has been rewarding for me...I didn't realize how much I missed helping people (I haven't worked since 2003)...and I'm learning new things too!

Definitely NOT a stupid question. With a vaginal birth, you can bleed up to 2 or 3 weeks, especially if you breast feed, as nursing causes uterine contractions, which make it bleed at this stage.(meaning while it shrinks back to its pre- pregnancy size). It's VERY heavy for the first 2 to 4 days...you change overnight pads less than every hour at first(lots of large clots). By day 4 its like a bad period, with the occasional clot. After that, and until it stops, it more manageable(meaning you don't have to be afraid of standing up and bleeding through your pad suddenly).With a c-section the vaginal bleeding isn't as bad, because when they scoop out your placenta, they cauterize any of the really heavily bleeding vessels, so the heavy bleeding only lasts about 2 days max, but you're in a lot more pain when you have a uterine contraction during nursing because of the incision. Bleeding or weeping from the incision site can happen too, so you're stuck with 2 problems areas for a while. The bleeding stops about 7 to 10 days post partum if there are no complications with the incision. Hope this helps.

This is my first too but you usually bleed for a couple weeks at least. Some women bleed longer than others, but it's generally a couple weeks. The really heavy bleeding is just like 3 days. And yes you do bleed even if you have a c-section. Your body has to get rid of all the excess blood and fluid that's accumulated in your body for the last 9 months!
