Hi,
welcome to the health care magic and thanks for asking your query here

it seems that your body is taking longer time than usual to get back to the normal after labour however it is common to have irregular periods after delivery and it needs time to get back to the normal
your problem most probably be caused by imbalanced hormones levels or there may be some residual blood and which needs to expell out
for this I would strongly suggest you to consult your gynecologist to get it examine she may go for an ultrasound to determine if everything is ok , she may also go for some blood test to rule out any underlying medical condition

I hope it helps thanks and get well soon
