How long did your bleeding last?

I had my baby 16 days ago by planned c section. Got discharged by community midwives yesterday and discussed the fact that my bleeding had been very stop/start. I go through a couple of days of virtually nothing but then have a day with heavier, red blood, much like the start of a period. She seemed a bit surprised by this but not overly concerned, just said that I should go to GP if I was still bleeding at 3 weeks.
So I just wondered if anyone had this pattern and all was ok? Bit worried now in case there’s something wrong that sets my recovery back. I’ve had a relatively easy physical recovery but have been really struggling MH wise and don’t want to feel worse. Debating making a GP app before the 3 week mark just to try and pick anything up ASAP.

I gave birth 3 weeks ago tomorrow and I have definitely had heavier and lighter days. I have stopped bleeding at night pretty much and just some heavy discharge during the day.

I cant wait for it to stop. Also cant wait for my right boob to stop leaking milk. I am FF and my left boob stopped after a week or so but my right boob is still pouring!
