It could be a hemorrhoid. I also had a similar situation I am 4 weeks out and still have some spotting. If you are concerned call your doctor for sure.

It's normal to experience bright red at 3 weeks. That's still early in your postpartum healing after natural birth. If it doesn't stop at 6-8 weeks of healing or the bleeding is excessive or both, I would call the doctor.

Its lochia itll be varying up until around 5-6 weeks and if youre straining when you poop, its just pushing it out more
