How long did you bleed after giving birth? I'm 10.5 weeks postpartum, breastfeeding, not on birth control pills. I stopped bleeding around week 7, but then it came back, stopped and started again. Is this normal? The doctor wants me to wait 2 more weeks to see how much I bleed ??

If you are not breastfeeding, your period is likely to return after 6 to 8 weeks whereas it might take longer if you are breastfeeding. I bled for about 2 weeks and there was a bit of blood around week 8 or 9. No more blood so far. I'm not sure if that was my period or not as I'm still breastfeeding. http://sg.theasianparent.com/lochia_postpartum_bleeding_singapore/
