Periods after 40 days of normal delivery
I had normal delivery 40 days ago.
For a week , on alternate days i get very minor bleeding. It starts in the morning and ends by the evening.
Is that period?

It takes about 40-60 days after normal delivery to get your periods.
The diagnosis of this being a period is retrospective.
