Postpartum bleeding

I read a lot about bleeding for long or haemorrhage, but in my case I'm 7days postpartum and the bleeding is almost finished (I can use regular liners) .
I wonder if it is normal since I had a delivery with forceps, kiwi, retained placenta and haemorrhage.
Did this happen to anyone else?

That wasn’t my experience but I have heard of friends bleeding for a short time. With a couple of my friends, the bleeding did re-start though

Could it be that they "hoovered" up a lot of the blood after the haemorrhage?

Congratulations on the new LO btw Thanks

Mum of 3 here. First 2 I bleed for 7 days 3rd was going on 4-5 weeks +. Think it just depends on your body’s healing process!
