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 today so I'll mention to her

Just curious if anyone else stopped bleeding so fast?

If you lost alot of blood during delivery, that might be a reason.

Personally though, with my 2nd daughter (my 1st I bled heavily straight for 4wks), I bled for 5 days, stopped bleeding completely, bled for another couple of days, then stopped, and bled for another week and stopped, and so on. You might find you bleed on and off :)
