Should I Be Worried About The Clear Fluid Discharge After Giving Birth?

I gave birth 3 days ago and although I expect to lose blood and fluid for a while I seem to be gushing 2-3 times a day. Creating a puddle of clear fluid on the floor. Almost like my waters breaking. I have hardly lost any blood at all. Just this fluid. Is this right?

Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
The discharge after the delivery is known as lochia, and it is initially blood mixed for few days , and then it becomes clear.
There is no need to worry as it is completely normal.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
