    Yes, it can be normal. It may be that you overdid it. Sometimes a return to red bleeding, after it has subsided, is your body's way of letting you know that you are trying to do too much too soon.

    Take it easy for a couple of days and see what happens. Some discharge in the first 6 weeks is common. If it were to be continuous, you would want to let your doctor or midwife be aware.
