Question : Hi Doctor,
I delivered baby 3.5 months back.At the end of 3rd month post delivery I got my periods back. But now I am getting pinkish discharge from 2-3 days. Plus my menstrual cycle date has not yet come. Is it normal to get that?
Please help.

Brief Answer:
Common finding in lactation

Detailed Answer:
Hello Mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
If is common to have erratic periods while breast feeding the baby.
But still to be on safer side just do a urine pregnancy test.
If negative then nothing to worry.
