A member asked:

Isn't it unusual to to have a bad odor vagina discharge after giving a birth?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

OMG yes: Until i had children, i never realized how, shall we say, strong that after childbirth odor is. It's completely normal and it will pass. Nothing to do. I wouldn't douche or "do" anything.... Just wait. If there's itching associated, it could be a yeast infection, but it's completely normal to have a bad smell for 6-8 weeks after delivery.
