    Question

    I?ve been breastfeeding for the last 17 months. I haven?t had my period in the 2 years since having the baby but the last week and a half I?ve been crampy and have had heavy gooey clear discharge, sometimes yellowish with a little blood in it. Is that normal?

    Answer

    The discharge is likely normal. You could be having your period soon especially if you are close to weaning the baby.
