Brief Answer:
Common happening but still ultrasound advised

Detailed Answer:
Hello man, thanks for trusting health care magic. Yes many a times patients bleed after delivery for a variable period of 4-6 weeks.
Usually nothing to worry except if there is pain and excessive bleeding.
So in case you are worried a lot it is better to get an ultrasound done and a routine check up from gynaecologist along.
Take care
Regards
Dr Manisha
