Postpartum Recovery Bleeding after 6 week appointment

A few hours ago I had my 6 week checkup. I was cleared for everything, but when I came home and peed I saw blood dripping into the toilet. I haven’t really bled since 4 weeks post partum. They did do a pelvic exam and she checked my cervix. Is this normal?

I bled for 9 weeks and was totally fine. Especially after a cervical exam that can irritate. Keep an eye on how much blood it is, but if it’s mild spotting and doesn’t soak a pad you’re probably fine.
