If you are having heavy bleeding that long after birth, you are doing too much. Climb into bed with your baby, and don't do anything for a few days but nurse and rest. Stay hydrated, and eat well (lots of protein). Keep off your feet, and ask friends and relatives to help with household chores for a couple more weeks.
If after a day or two of staying off your feet and getting lots of rest the bleeding doesn't lighten up, you will need to see your doctor.
NOTE: If you are not breastfeeding, it is possible to have your first period this soon after delivery. The first period after delivery can be heavier than normal. But it should lightenvup after a couple of days, as a regular period would.

Well, if your blood is clotting the way that it should be, then when you bleed, you will not continue bleeding forever like people who have hemophilia. For instance, if you get a paper cut, you shouldn't be bleeding for a very long time and should see redness in the area. That means that the blood is rushing to the site and the platelets are trying to clot your blood. Soon, you will start to see a scab. Those are all normal signs of clotting. If you are concerned that you are not clotting at all or enough, you should talk to your doctor and he/she may recommend a blood test to see you platelet count. If it is too low, that may be why your blood isn't clotting.
