How long does a new mum have lochia for?

Lochia - the brownish discharge will last for a few weeks. Some women who have a c-sec are shocked by the amount of vaginal discharge they will have. Even though the placenta is removed during the op, the uterus still needs to heal and discharge is part of that process.

Lochia will continue for about one month after delivery. It can last up till 8 weeks for some women. http://sg.theasianparent.com/lochia_postpartum_bleeding_singapore/

I remember mine was about 3 weeks. Then after about a week it came back again. On and off it lasted about 10 weeks for it to totally clear off.

My lochia lasted for a month. If more than 2 months, you should visit your gynae for check.

thanks
