10 days with a maxi, I wore pantyliner for 2-3 weeks after that. I thought something was wrong with me because I stopped bleeding heavily so soon.

This was me, too. I don't think it finally stopped until 8 or 9 weeks.

I wore a maxi for about 2.5 weeks and panty liners for another 2. But heavier bleeding stopped after 10 days or so

12 days post partum it finally stopped.

However, as soon as I became "too active" (running with my toddler, unpacking the moving boxes - we moved at 8 mo. preg., etc.) the bleeding returned a little.

Then I wore pantiliners for another week just to be safe.

It was a few weeks before the bleeding stopped, maybe 2 or 3, but I wore a pantyliner for awhile.

Or rather, after you stopped bleeding. It's been a couple days for me, two weeks post-partum, but I'm afraid that there might be a return as soon as I stop taking precautions.... What did you do if you can remember?
