Postpartum period

2020-05-02 15:42:56
I delivered my little one on March 7th this year. By 4th week, I started getting yellowish white discharge when I thought this postpartum bleeding is ending. But then from 6th week, I am getting spotting of red blood and from yesterday I am getting dark red bloody sticky discharge very less(more like spotting). Should I consider this as my periods restarted or is it still postpartum bleeding?

If you don't have pelvic pain or fever then nothing much to worry. Spotting often continues for a month. Is your baby exclusively breastfed?
Next Steps
Wait for couple of weeks and maintain hygiene.
