1 Your lochia is still bright red four days after your baby's birth. 2  Your lochia has a foul smell or you come down with fever or chills, which can be a sign of a postpartum infection. 3  You have abnormally heavy bleeding (saturating a sanitary pad in an hour or having blood clots bigger than a golf ball).
Immediately after you deliver, you will have lochia from your vagina. The discharge will change color to pinkish in a weekâs time, and eventually become yellowish or white after about 10 days. You may have lochia lasting for about 2 to 4 weeks, and might come and disappear for like two months. Red lochia will reduce within the first few weeks as the flow gradually becomes less. However, if you try to do a lot of activity too soon, the flow might reappear.
