Still bleeding 9 weeks after section - is it time to bother someone yet?

As the title says Blush
I have had the odd day with no bleeding, but then it comes back. Not too heavy, usually only needing a liner rather than a pad, but occasionally something more period-like just for an hour or so!!
Burying my head in the sand a bit, as the thought of having to do something about it just now does not appeal... Both for myself and bothering the NHS. I'm not sure whether to worry yet. I did have two babies, plus I've always bled a lot (for example I could never run 2 packs of the pill together to skip a period - would just bleed straight through it). Have always bled between periods for an odd day or so (been investigated and no reason found). So maybe I'm just taking a bit longer than average to stop? At what point should I give the GP a ring?

I’d say now would be the time to ring.
