Hello Anonymous,
Following delivery, a woman will have a vaginal discharge called lochia.
For the first few days after birth, the discharge contains a fair amount of blood and resembles a heavy menstrual period. Normally. the discharge decreases a little each day. By day two to day four, the lochia is more watery and pink in color. About 10 days after delivery, it is decreased a lot and is a small amount of white discharge. In about two to four weeks, the lochia stops.
You should have had a monthly period by now.
Anonymous, have you been examined by your obstetrician since delivery?
Have you told your doctor that you have not had a period yet?
Since you are having sexual intercourse, there is a chance that you may be pregnant. Please give your obstetrician a call and schedule an appointment.
