Only 2 days post partum and completely stopped bleeding?

Question

I had my son on Sunday night at 21:17. He's my second child. With my first I bleed heavily for 6 weeks and then spotted for a further 2 weeks. Her delivery was 6 hours for labour and birth

With my son on Sunday the labour and birth lasted 50 minutes, yes that's 50 minutes from 5cm a tube labour with pains to live birth. Well I lost 1.5 litres of blood so was kept in a bit longer to make sure my levels had returned to normal and they had so we were discharged

I'd obviously noticed I was bleeding less but I've just gone to the toilet and my pad is completely white still, I've wiped and nothing, looked with a mirror and nothing! I hadn't torn or needed stitches

Obviously I'm taking it as easy as possible (although newborn and 21 month old isn't gonna be that easy going) and I'm exclusively breastfeeding

I've got my midwife check up tomorrow so I'll mention to her

Just curious if anyone else stopped bleeding so fast?

I basically didn't bleed at all with my second either. He was also a quick birth, hardly had any contractions and was only in labour 45 minutes. I didn't tear or anything either. I bled for a day, very lightly, and then it was a little discharge-like for another day or two and then nothing at all. It seems like it may have something to do with the quick birth and not much irritation ect. 
My first was horrible. I was in labour for 26 hours with her, and pushed for 7 hours before they decided I needed to be cut!! It was horrendous and nearly stopped me having another child it was that bad. I bled for a month after.

Just count yourself lucky and expect the wound to heal much sooner. My bleeding lasted 12 days. From real heavy with blood clots to 3-4 days of spotting

Only 2 days post partum and completely stopped bleeding?
