C-section bleeding can stop earlier than vaginal. Are you breast feeding? If not it can stop sooner for you aswell.
Also just because its lightening off now doesn’t mean it’s going to stop, sometime it seems to be nearly gone then come back. I think i was about 4 weeks when mine stopped (i then started bleeding a lot again but thats because i had an infection).
If you’re worried about it though you can always talk to your midwife

I didnt even bleed for a wrrk after my csection, it can be different for everyone but 6 weeks is the maximum before seeking medical advice.

Mine was 2 weeks consistently. Then week 3-4 it was on off. It's week 5 and I have just had some brown spotting. Midwife said it's all normal

Mine stopped around 3 weeks, then I was clear for 2 weeks the started bleeding again, I think that was my period x

I bled for just over 6 months after csec and that was "totally normal" but anywhere for 2-8 weeks is "standard"

Mine stopped around 7 weeks for a cup of days and then I was on and off till about 12 weeks xx

Mine stopped completely by week 2. Was only really spotting after the first week though.

About a week and then just random spotting and panty liners.

Both times the obstetrician said she vacuumed me out so I didn’t have much uterine debris.

Nine and a half freaking weeks!!

I’m at 8 weeks and still bleeding 😩 I’m exclusively breastfeeding too. Mine got very light after 2 weeks then came back like period at 5 weeks and now back to light bleeding

Yep c section birthers get a slight head start with the surgeon literally being in our uteruses and cleaning them out 🤣 I will say I had a few spotting episodes through about 4.5/5 weeks. You likely are done with the bulk, but I would keep wearing at least a liner until about 6 weeks. I had a few leakage moments when I got a bit confident I was done 🙈

About 1/2 weeks for me. You then have Lochia which leaves in stages and colour, yellow being the last.
