I started my period on the 14th it started as a dark brown color then it stopped for 2 days and started again but is now black blood... I had a baby 1 yr ago and this is my 3rd period since I gave birth to her the other 2 periods were normal should this be considered normal too?

It is likely fine as the color of bleeding will vary and can sometimes look very dark. Usually it is an indication of older blood, which would make sense since there was a lull in the flow.

For the peace of mind, you can always give your doctor's office a call as well.
