Is It Normal To Have Spotting On 20 Weeks Postpartum?

It is 20 weeks post partum and I am spotting. I stopped breastfeeding after 4 weeks. I got my first period 11 weeks post partum, it lasted for 6 days and came with cramping. At 18 weeks postpartum I thought my next period was starting, but it stopped after a few spots. Same thing happened the next day, etc until now... 2 weeks later I am still spotting. It s not brown, its just the same color as a regular period but very sparse. Is this normal?

Hello,

It is quite common and will settle by itself.

It is the reappearance of your menstrual cycle.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
