How much lochia did you have?

Sorry if this is a TMI question but how many days/weeks did you have lochia for? Also, is there more for a c section or a vaginal delivery?

Virtually none. 2-3 days of very light period type bleeding then a week of pink mucus, didn't even need a panty liner.

I had a VB but the manual evacuation of placenta, so that may have got most of it out.

Lochia comes mainly from the wound left by the placenta coming away, it's not just what was lining your uterus.
