A single episode of light brownish spotting a couple of weeks after periods resume is usually just breakthrough spotting, especially while your cycle is still settling after a C-section.
Next Steps
Track it on a calendar. If it happens again, becomes heavier, or comes with odour or pain, get a pelvic ultrasound done.
Health Tips
Since you're recently postpartum, mention this at your next follow-up even if it doesn't recur.
