I'm 4 weeks exactly after section and bleeding is light. I was bleeding red a lot first week, then tailored to brown and slowed second week but turned bright red again then brown and it keeps going in cycles... I was pushing myself too hard driving so much to the NICU everyday when the dr told me to be a couch potato...
Oh, and I thought I had an infection for a few days then I realized my liner was scented

it made it smell off. Whoops!

I am still bleeding. It stopped and then started. The blood is called lochia.

From http://www.americanpregnancy.org/lab...aftercare.html

"Your lochia bleeding will change over time and can increase with activity and position changes. Use your bleeding as a way of making sure that you are not involved in too much activity. Lochia will change over time to pale pink or a dark red color, and then eventually to a yellowish or light color."
