Only 4 days of postpartum bleeding

4th birth and I've had really minimal bleeding. Day 4 was super light pink, mainly a creamy yellow discharge and then it's completely stopped since then.

I assume this is unusual but not a concern?

I had a csection, recovery is going okay. Still needing my pain relief a week later though (this is 3rd csection)

I haven't had a CS but that seems very little. I'd speak to the HV

I had a vagina birth both times and only bled for a few days, I asked the midwife and both times they said it was unusual but normal.

I had two c sections and the same - very light and very short. Assume they cleaned it all out.
(did have a friend who had a c section and she bled for 3 months but there was something not right then)
my periods were lighter after childbirth too.
