    With my first DS about 2 weeks pretty heavy, maybe another week light and with the twins about 1 week...not sure why it was shorter this time.

    I wasn't bleeding at my 7 week check-up, and it was fairly light the two weeks leading up to that appointment. It also stopped a couple days at week 4 then started back up again.

    A couple of weeks, but I may have had spotting or very light bleeding (just pantiliners) for a couple more. It did seem to stop at one point, nothing for a few days, and then started up again. I remember it being longer than I expected.

    I think just shy of 8 weeks. The first 3 were pretty heavy and then spotting by 6-7 weeks.

    8 weeks...by the 7th, it had slowed down to more a light period/spotting. I had a false stop around 5 weeks but then it started back up the next day.

    6 weeks, but only about 2 weeks heavily. Fairly light after that.

    It was about 2-3 weeks then it lightened and then eventually stopped. Then...I started flooding. I called Dr & they said it's normal. So don't be alarmed if it stops & starts again.

    3-4 weeks, I think. The first week was heavy - but then it was pretty light.

    I was done bleeding by my six week check-up. I only bled heavily for the first couple of weeks though. After that it was very light. There were times I bled more than others, but that was when I was more active. The more you take it easy the better. You definately want to move around, but follow doc's instructions to the letter and things should go smoothly!
