Lochia at 8 1/2 weeks postpartum - is this normal?

[hotpotlover]

Hi everyone, so I had my baby boy on August 12th, which makes me 8 1/2 weeks postpartum. I still have what seems to be lochia alba - a white/yellow/slightly orange discharge. It's not a lot, I could wear one pad a day without it soaking through. I change pad more often for hygiene reasons.
The lochia doesn't have an offensive smell.

My question is, is this normal? I thought it was supposed to stop by now?

I had a forceps delivery with 2.1 litres blood and ragged membranes. Just wondering if it could be connected to this?

I had a scan with a private gynecologist at around 7 weeks postpartum for a different reason.
The gynecologist said she couldn't see any retained products in my uterus, but later on I read on the scan report that my uterus was "bulky in size".

Does anyone have any advice? x

I don't have an answer but am also having the same still at 10 weeks PP! It varies day to day but definitely what I think is Lochia from googling. I had a c-section so not sure if the type of birth makes a difference?

It seems pretty normal. I'm now 12 weeks pp my lochia stopped at around 8 weeks. The yellowish discharge usually comes at the end of the lochia so it should stop in about a week.

It can drag on. I think it eventually stopped completely at around 9 or 10 weeks for me.

It's one of those things nobody tells you about before you have a baby.
