Increased discharge 6 months after birth

[smurff]

Hi, my lo is nearly 6 months old, after I gave birth I had an increase in vaginal discharge, it was a white colour and odourless, After about 2 months it disappeared but now it seems to have returned again. Anyone else experience this

Are you bf or ff? If you havent started your period it might be gearin up again. Other than that not sure...

Do you have a coil by any chance?

I was also thinking that if your periods haven't returned yet, your body might be gearing up for them to come back.

i've had a lot of discharge since my dd was born last December. My period returned at just 8 weeks PP. Now that I'm pregnant again it's even worse.

I remember at my 6 week check-up the midwife told me that increased discharge while you are breastfeeding is normal. Are you breastfeeding?
