It's not unusual for a discharge to start back up right after you thought they were finished...it's just the uterus continuing to shrink down and discharge all the leftover gunk. Ugh.

It will usually be rather thick, kinda brick red (not bright red like fresh blood) and generally disgusting. If she's eating well and nursing her babies she's probably fine. If she seems a little "off" you might want to take her temp and see if it's elevated.
