Is it normal to have clear or light pink lochia and then for it to be red/brown again? I'm at nearly 4 wks PP and am still have discharge. I have noticed it goes from light pink/clearish to red. Anyone else have this?

I am not sure about the color, but I think it's normal to have some variance in lochia. Mine would go away completely for 24-48 hours then come back again. It was on and off like this until 5 or 6 weeks pp, which surprised me because I didn't remember it being that way with my first. But my midwife reassured me that it was normal. HTH...

Yes, this is normal. Some say being too active while healing after the birth causes the red blood to return.
