Question about postpartum bleeding- Sorry if TMI

So it's been 6 days since I delivered. My bleeding has been very light. Probably could use only one pad per day(although I change it more often). The blood is usually red or pink. Today when I went to the bathroom I noticed a surge of more than normal red blood in the toilet and when I wiped. I was reading on some sights that if you still have red blood after the 4th day to call your doctor, that it should be more pinkish. Did anyone else still have the brighter red blood for longer than 4 days? I hadn't really been concerned about it since the flow had been so light. Not sure what the greater surge was about today, maybe I am doing too much? Anyone elses insight would be great!

its totally normal, every now and then you will "gush" some blood, even on your light days. Sounds completely normal to me. I had that happens every so often for about the 7 weeks I bled.

I had that happen for the first 3 weeks. Every time it started to get light again i would have the red gush. But eventually it stopped.
