Postpartum bleeding

I had my baby 5 weeks and 5 days ago but I only stopped bleeding just over a week ago, since last week I loose more like water to the point where I have to wear a pad. My urine also smells like extremely strong detol (only way I can explain in) no matter how much water I drink it's always the same. I don't appear to have urine infection as I've had them previously. Today I have started loosing darkkkk down / blackish blood. I do have slight pains in my lower left side that always come and go never so bad where I have to take pain killers.
Is this normal. Has anyone else experienced this and know what it may be. Sorry TMI

You should be able to access maternity triage for 6 weeks after birth. You're almost at 6 weeks so I'd call ASAP to discuss with them.

I'd call the GP. Ask them to test a urine sample and do a swab.

Where I live you only come under midwifery care up to 28 days, and if you're readmitted after 14 days you have to go to a gynae ward 🤷🏼‍♀️
