Hi,
After delivery,& during lactation,periods tend to be irregular. there are individual variations about starting 1st period after delivery.
The discharge,cramping you have might be one of those irregular reactions of uterus.
Please make sure that you don't have any infection in genital tract-with white discharge,itching,burning in urine,constant pain/heaviness in lower abdomen. If so,consult a gynecologist to exclude infection.
Thanks
