6 weeks usually. sometimes a bit longer. with the c-section it may end up being longer.

how many pads are you soaking in a day?

the blood will still be fresh and will still have clots.

and how old is baby now?

also, it will speed up the more you move around. so if you are more active now you should get more bleeding....slow down your activity with bed rest and it should go down.
