vaginal bleeding after cesarean?

I just had my 3rd c-section about 10 days ago. I was told the doctor "cleaned me out well" which is why my bleeding was lighter than I expected initially. I was sent home when my daughter was 3 days old, and the next day was the last day that I bled. I've been wearing panty liners for about a week, but I only had spotting for 2 days after I stopped bleeding. Is that normal? I mean, I bled for 4 days. With my other 2 c-sections I bled for a month, so this is new to me.

    Yeah, to be honest this does sound a bit dubious. I bled for well over a week with my c section and that was quite heavy. even if the doctor did 'clean you out well' (whatever that means) I am sure that as your uterus was contracting you would have more than just spotting. Maybe try and see your OB/GYN just to check that everything's OK. Good luck.
