Postpartum bleeding, while somewhat similar to a regular menstrual cycle, is different when it comes to how long it will last. Bleeding after delivery will last differently for each person, but there are general timeframes you can be aware of. If you're bleeding too much or have any concerns, consult your doctor first as postpartum bleeding can turn into postpartum hemorrhage. This can result in your blood pressure dropping, leaving your organs not getting the blood they need. The first stage of Lochia, also known as Lochia Rubra, typically lasts three to four days after birth. During this time, bleeding is the heaviest and blood clots may occur. The second stage, Lochia Serosa, is four to 14 days after delivery with bleeding beginning to lighten. Lochia Alba is the final stage of the postpartum bleeding process and happens around two weeks after delivery all the way up to a month. Bleeding is light and spotting may occur.
