You should contact a doctor since this isn't normal for you. It could cause slight anemia to bleed so long.
Your user name is NewMum17. Did you recently have a baby? That might have something to do with the bleeding.

So I should get in contact with a doctor then?
And yes I recently gave birth to my beautiful boy just over a month ago

Well there you go. You're probably not going to be regular again for a month or two, maybe longer. What you're seeing is the shedding of all the uterine lining from when you were pregnant. This is call Locia or something like that. This is going to be several times as big and long as your normal period. Didn't they tell you about this at the hospital?
It's normal, but getting in contact with your doctor is always a good thing.
