Hi, I gave birth via c/s about 9 weeks ago. I've been experiencing prolonged bleeding with only about 2 brief periods of slowing down. I called my nurse at 5 weeks and she said to call if it continued beyond a week after my call. It stopped and turned to yellow discharge for about 5 days. It started up again a day before my PP visit. They couldn't explain the cause but didn't seem worried. They did an ultrasound and noted a clot which they also did not seem worried about. The bleeding continued and turned to a scanty brown discharge for a few days and it turned to red/pink yesterday. I've had cramping for a little over a week and recently noticed a strong smell. I don't know what to do with holidays approaching. I'M starting to worry about this being an infection. They did not address that possibility. I don't have a fever but what else could it be? What symptoms would warrant an ER visit? Thanks!

I had red and brown but never yellow.
Did you have an 8 week follow up? Are you breastfeeding?
