You will have a vaginal discharge called lochia (LOH-kee-ah) after delivery. The lochia is bright red the first one or two days after delivery, and later turns a pink color. The lochia changes to a white or yellow color by about the tenth day after delivery. It is normal to have discharge on and off for six weeks after delivery. Use a sanitary pad rather than a tampon.
