bleeding post birth

i didnt get much bleeding at all after this birth. got probably med/heavy flow for first day then reduced to med/light for a few days and just yesterday (day 6) practically nothing. just before though i got a gush of blood. it wasnt enough to overflow an ultrathin pad but still, is that normal since it was pretty much all gone since the day before?
