Discharge and bleeding- 8 week postpartum

Talk me down fellow mums, talk me down.

I have seen a doctor, waiting on swab results and will reconvene with them for further investigation after results come back.

On Friday, I had some clear yellow discharge On Saturday, my discharge went crazy - soooo much of it. Creamy light yellow (normal colour for me) and no strong smell. This has continued until today.

Went to doctors on Monday who took swab and had a look and everything looked as it should. Swab results not back yet.

Yesterday, after going to the toilet I started bleeding and the bleeding continues. Not heavy at all but red blood on panty liner and when I wipe - a mini period. The last time I had any bleeding was 5 and half weeks pp and now almost 9 weeks pp.

I'm exclusivley breast feeding so will be pissed if my period has restarted but also so relieved as in my head I'm thinking it's something terrifying like cancer or internal infection.

I bled a lot before I went into labour so worrying I have a messed up cervix or something.

Anyone experience something like this?
I have health anxiety if you haven't guessed!
