It seems mine has already stopped. It just seems it was longer with
my other two babies. Does it taper off with each pregnancy then???
Anyone who has recently given birth do you remember how long yours
lasted?? I just thought it was much longer than 2 weeks!!

IIRC, mine was pretty short as well. That's why I was so surprised I
had my period a few weeks later.

Check with your OB if you have any more questions, maybe during delivery
you lost quite a bit of the lining, etc. so you didn't have as much to lose?

It usually slows down and appears to stop around 2 weeks, which makes women
think that they are all done, so they exert themselves more than they have
been, which causes it to start up again. So, my guess is that it will
likely go on a few more weeks, but have some breaks in between.

Consider yourself lucky that it only lasted two weeks--LOL. As others have
said, the flow can become heavier when you exert too much effort. With each
of my pregnancies, it lasted about eight weeks (it was fairly light the last
couple of weeks). It can vary from woman to woman (and from pregnancy to
pregnancy), though.
