: OK ... I had baby Anna 3 weeks ago and I'm still bleeding ... it's very light now but still going ... is this just from the birth or is it a af cycle? ... if it's not a cycle ... when can I expect my first one ... I am exclusively breastfeeding also ... I heard this can make a difference ... can everyone who has given birth let me know how things went afterwards with them ... thanks in advance :)
With my first baby, i never breastfed i stopped bleeding after 10 days after givin birth.... also i had a period 6 weeks after she was born.
With baby number 2 i only bled for a week and my periods started when she was just 4 weeks old, and she was breatfed.
I think every woman is differnt after giving birth, but i was told bleeding can last up to 6 weeks after giving birth.
Good luck
Kelly
