To the ladies who also had a C-section and have had their first period, did it last a long time? I'm now on day 8 and i've never had one this long before (usually around 4 days). I'm 10 weeks PP.

Mine was 6 days

I thought I was going to die when I got my first one. It only lasted 5 days but I was soaking through my pads continuously. Also, the clots!!!! Omg

Yes mine just finished. I am 10 weeks PP and my period was about 7 days long. I'm normally a 3 to 4 day period girl
