HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it could be postpartum bleeding, this could be the first possibility and second it could be residual part of placenta, in either case you could wait for some time if it does not stop then it may need clinical examination, in very rare condition it could be infection but in absence of another clinical symptoms this is being ruled out, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
