Delivered Baby, Getting Dark Brown Periods. Is That Normal?
Hi, I gave birth to my son at the end of December, I had a period 6 weeks later and it was heavier then normal and I was told by my doctor that it was normal. I started my period the next month but it was really dark brown blood and was the entire time. I just started my period today and it is the same dark brown blood and I was wondering if it is normal. The bleeding only lasts for about 5-7 days like a normal period but I am wondering why it is brown because it has never been that way before. Can you please help?

Good evening dear
Do you have any vaginal discharge outside periods?
Do you have any lower abdominal pain?
If no do not worry its normal menstrual periods.
