bleeding After c section? Is this normal??

So I had my son by c section on Nov 29th. I bled heavy at first then lighter for about 4 weeks. Then I started bleeding again at 6 weeks and again at 8 weeks. And now I started bleeding again today at 9 weeks.  It's not super heavy but a medium flow and only lasts a couple days. I'm Just wondering if this is normal?? I asked my doctor at my 6 week check up and she said it's normal but I'm just concerned.  I did start having sex at 4 weeks and have been since and I am also exclusively breast feeding.  Could It be from having sex or breast feeding?  Please help.

It could be the return of your period.

Hmmm.... I've had 5 c/s, will have another in a few weeks. I bleed for only a couple weeks after
Birth and then no period until I stopped breastfeeding completely. I know every woman is different but I would call your ob's office to see if they are concerned.
