Anyone else experience a weird vagina smell postpartum?

It’s been 4 weeks since I’ve given birth vaginally to my first child. I’m still bleeding a little bit and leaking fluid so I been wearing pads to catch everything. The pads reek of a bad odor tho. Is this normal? If so, how long does this last?

I had the postpartum smell until about 6 weeks. A similar smell (not as strong) came back during my first period at 8 weeks pp. That peri bottle has been my bestie.

Yes for me it went away exactly at the 6 week mark, it wasn’t a pleasant smell at all.
