OT- Excessive discharge postpartum

This is a little OT but I figured I would have more of a chance in this group than anywhere else!
I am almost 15 weeks postpartum and am exclusively breastfeeding. I haven't gotten my period back yet. I had a lot of tearing inside so it took a while to have sex again and we've only done it a handful of times because it's still quite sensitive. After sex I notice that for a few days I will have excessive discharge and a very noticeable odour. The mucous is almost like EWCM and there's a lot!! Also, I will still hurt for a few days as well. Is this normal postpartum or has anyone experienced this? I think I will probably ask at his 4 month appt but it isn't for another 2 weeks.

Thanks Clysta. I'm not sure what to think of it. It's been almost a week since the last time we did it and I'm still a little tender so I'm going to have to mention it to my doc and see what she says about it. Kinda puts a damper on being intimate that way! :(

I can't say I notice an increase after any particular activity, but I have noticed just a general increase since delivery. When I was pregnant I never really had much, but now it's really bad.
