Brown ok, green - definately not! You may have a bit of an infection going on there and that needs to be sorted asap. Is your midwife still visting? If not I would ring and see a GP. They may well want to see your pad just to warn you. Any other symptoms - feverish at all?

It is hard when it's just one damn thing after another but you don't want your fanjo to turn purple and fall off now do you?

I think ny niscuity you may mean sort of malty? Which is basically yeast so it may be you've got something fungal going on there rather than bacterial. It's good that you feel ok as bacterial infections can make you feel dreadful.

Please just get it sorted though

It's probably ok but you shouldn't start anything without seeing a doctor. I know it's a pita but post childbirth infection can be lethal so you don't muck around with it. I think you've got some exciting fungus going on down there but you need to see a doctor to be sure and get treatment that's appropriate for your particular bugs.
