Period 4 weeks after birth - normal?

Had a c section 4 weeks ago and started the mini pill after about 10 days, my bleeding then stopped but I have now been bleeding red blood again for about 9 days. Is this normal? Is this just a side effect of the mini pill or should I be concerned?

Are you breastfeeding?
I'm not sure about mini pill but mine came back at 6 weeks despite BF when the baby slept through.

Mine came back at 6 weeks with my first despite bf and waking frequently through the night. It might be the mini pill though as it caused me random bleeds and then didn’t work

im not! I think it must just be the mini pill causing havoc but would be good to know properly
