What Causes Greyish Blue Bruise Under The Navel After A C-section?

I had a baby through c-section about 5 weeks ago. I was told to wait to have sex at least until my six week check-up, but, after about 3 weeks I felt completely normal so me & my fiance tried it. It hurt the first few times, but, now it feels normal again. I have an appointment with the doctor who delivered my baby this coming Friday, but, I just noticed a grayish-blue like bruise under my skin below my belly button. It's pretty good size & goes all the way across my belly. There is no pain when you push on it or anything, but, my fiance & family say it could be blood & I could be bleeding internally. I have been having cramps as if I am on my period, but, I'm not bleeding heavily or anything & I usually do on my period. My c-section went very well, I didn't take any pain medication after, but, I was up all the time once I was released from the hospital because my fiance isn't much on helping out. Anyways, I am just really worried about this because I don't want to be bleeding internally & not do anything about it. I am 19, now weigh about 170-180 & am around 5'8. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
