Spotting after first postpartum period?

Hey lovelies,

I recently had my twins via emergency c-section 6 weeks ago. They were born 10 weeks early at 30+2 weeks.

I bled for 4 weeks and stopped for 4 days before I got what I assume to be my first postpartum period (very very heavy and crampy)

The ‘period’ lasted about 7 days (Thursday to the following Wednesday) I’ve been off my period for 5 days now and have had no bleeding since the last day of my period however throughout today I’ve been spotting brown blood. My Flo app tells me I could potentially ovulate anytime now ( not tracking as I’m not trying to conceive& 6-8 week check up is in 2nd of April where we hope to be put on contraception)

is this normal? This is never happened to me before (twins are 4&5 babies, elder 3 kids are all normal vaginal deliveries)

sorry for the long post, just a very unsure mummy right now.
