    Are you seeing anyone for a 6 week check up? Ask them, but i reckon its just on the natural spectrum of what is normal.

    It is normal to have it for 6 weeks apparently, I had a small amount, but no 2 bodies are the same the doctors will tell you that as long as it doesn't look or smell off (which is sign of infection) then it's perfectly normal.

    I had mine for about 8 weeks, it varies from woman to woman- ask your doc at your 6 week check up if you're worried
