8 weeks PP started bleeding again?

Can anyone put my mind at ease?
so I stopped bleeding around week 5 and restarted at week 8.
i just thought it was my period as I’m formula feeding.
still bleeding two weeks on. Not a heavy flow, changing the pad twice a day to which it’s only half full but when I’m on the toilet and wipe there loads of fresh bright red blood.
No clots, no smell, no pain, little achey but that it.
it’s honestly like I’ve cut myself and it’s just constantly slowly bleeding it’s so strange but is this normal for maybe a first PP period or could it still be PP bleeding?
just to add I had a very traumatic birth and am still in contact with the hospital as to which I emailed them to find out if the consultant was able to remove all my placenta when in theatre and they’ve replied to say he’s documented all placenta and membranes were removed in theatre?

any advice please, should I be going to the docs now to see what’s going on?

My second period was a heavy and long one for some reason. It did stop itself, and after that they were fine.

@DustyLee123 thanks, it’s just not a normal period but I suppose the first one after birth isn’t Gunna be :)
