    It's already 24 days since I delivered my twin boys vaginally. My bleeding has still not stop.
    It has reduced a lot (thank goodness!!!), but I am not completely blood free :)
    How long does it usually take for it to stop????

    Unfortunately, it was a long time for me too. They were five months old before it stopped.

    Six weeks for me; but it had diminished quite a bit by about 4 weeks.

    I was done around 4 weeks this time, but with my oldest DD it was about 20 weeks or so.

    Ugh for me it lasted for what felt like forever. In reality, I think at my 6 week check up it had pretty much stopped but I was still lightly bleeding. I remember what that felt like, hang in there it will eventually stop. You had a lot of placenta in your uterus, there is a lot to heal.

    It slacked off around 5 weeks and stopped around 7.
