Hi I am 7 weeks post partum. I had a csection and tubal litigation done. I keep bleeding off and on still. It ll stop for a day or two or even a week and then start up again. Now the blood has changed to an orangish pink . Is this normal and when can I expect this to end? I ve had 3 kids and this is the first time this has happened.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It takes about 3 months for the complete discharge and bleeding to stop. However, it will gradually go on reducing from now on.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Soumya
