Strange discharge 9 weeks postpartum?

Apologies in advance for TMI! I had an elective section 9 weeks ago, bleeding stopped a good 4 or 5 weeks ago and haven't really had any discharge or anything and then today, when I wipe, there's been lots of gooey/floppy/egg whitey discharge that's been clear/very pale yellow.... Is this normal?? I definitely didn't do well with resting up and taking it easy in the beginning so not sure if overdoing it a bit has maybe caused an issue/delayed healing? Just odd that everything's been normal for weeks and then suddenly this has happened? I had my 8 week checkup at the gp last week but they didn't actually ask me anything or check anything, just asked what contraceptive I would be using! I'm exclusively breastfeeding little one if that makes any difference!

I’m 4 months pp and feel like my discharge sounds similar, I also noticed it a few months pp. I didn’t have a section but I suspect that’s unrelated anyway. I looked into it & read it can be due to the hormones with EBF, not ideal though hey! Mines clear/white, sometimes stringy & much more than before, I found an old MN thread where quite a few women said the same, some took 12-18m to regulate.

I'm 10 weeks pp from a csection, and at around 8 weeks i had this exact same thing. Infact it was like a big ball of it when i wiped. Just out of nowhere and didn't happen again. I'd say if it continues maybe contact a GP but mine never happened again so I just put it down to post partum and my body adjusting. X
