    It can be very normal. Many women will have some discharge for several weeks after birth. Some will have it off and on for a bit longer. It is likely that you have not had an actual period just yet, especially as you were breastfeeding. More likely that this is just a continuation of your postpartum bleeding still.

    Congrats on your new baby!
