Specializes in American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology

Possibly: If she is breastfeeding and having slight spotting, it is probably normal. If she is having heavy bleeding (like a period or heavier) or if she did not breastfeed and has not stopped bleeding, she should see her gynecologist for evaluation.
