How long did your stitches bleed for?

[Sb86]

Hi! I had an episiotomy when I had my daughter 10 days ago and although I'm much more comfortable down there than I was, I'm still bleeding a bit from my stitches.
Doesn't feel infected or anything like that, and the bleeding from my vagina seems to be getting less and less, looking more like a regular discharge now (sorry, tmi..)

Just wanting to know how long anyone else had bleeding from their stitches?

I'm making sure to keep clean with warm showers and regular pad changes too.

My lo arrived 6 days before yours and I still have some light bleeding. It can last up to 6 weeks I believe. As long as you're not sore and there isn't a bad smell, I'd keep don't what you're doing and it'll ease off eventually x
