    Have you had continuous bleeding since giving birth on 7 September? If so, that would not be the norm and it would be wise to have your doctor check as to a possible cause. After giving birth, some women may retain some of the placenta and that can be a cause for continued bleeding.

    After birth you will have some bleeding for awhile. It is called lochia and some discharge may last a few weeks. If you aren't breastfeeding, regular periods may start up again about 8 weeks or so after birth. There can be some variations, as everyone is different, but having some bleeding going on for the majority of that time since should be looked into.

    Are you on any sort of hormonal birth control? Some women may experience some unusual bleeding because of that and a change may be necessary. Regardless, good idea to see your doctor to determine a possible cause.
