A member asked:

How long does it take to stop having vaginal bleeding or spotting after normal vaginal delivery.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Please ask the doc: Who delivered you, who should have explalined all of this to you before you left the hospital, you can have lochia for up to 4-5 weeks after sometimes less, sometimes more but as you get further out form delivery it should become less.
