I am 21 days PP and I am still bleeding bright red. Is this normal? Sometimes I feel a bit crampy but nothing that hurts real bad. I know I don't have an infection because I was on 2000 Mg of antibiotics 4 times a day for 2 weeks due to them leaving 2 4x4 sponges inside me after I almost bled out after delivery. How long did you guys bleed afterwards? Do you think I may have already started my period? ↓

Brandy,
I would make an app with your doctor as soon as possible, just let him know what is going on. I bled after but only for 4 days,
I didn't have a period till 4 months after my daughter was born. I don't know some women bleed diffrently than others? I'm sorry not sure what to tell you, I would call your doc and just give him or her a heads up on the situation. ↑

Well, I called the Nurses-on-call and the nurse seems to think it is "normal" or may be my period. I am still a tad concerned but I will have to wait until after the holiday weekend to get into the Dr. ↑

Sounds normal to me. I was still bleeding at my 6 week check with my first. With my second it was about 4 weeks. ↑
