Everyone is different. With my oldest, I was like kindergal- bled for 6 weeks and couldn't even do my pap.  With my middle guy I bled 2 weeks and was done. With this one, I'm 3 weeks out and still bleeding and passing clots.  Who know how long this one will last, All are normal though so hang in there!

I also had a c section---I was spotting so much at my 6 weeks check up that my Dr. could not do a pap smear...THEN, I started a real period two days later...AND I am breastfeeding (pumping).  Boy, I was not happy!!!!!
