First period after giving birth question?

I had my second daughter 10 weeks ago. i stopped bleeding around 5 weeks, at 6 weeks i had a bit of spotting for a day then nothing till 8 weeks when my period started. Stopped for a day at nine weeks and started again. Its now 10 weeks and it still hasn't stopped, sometimes red sometimes brown and light enough that i only have to wear a liner. It doesn't seem to be letting up. has anyone else experienced this. With my first daughter my period started around 10 weeks post and was normal 7 days. Not sure whats going on this time. I will be going to see the doctors tomorrow just need to know opinions now to ease my mind. thanks.

Update:

i dont need iron supplements i eat red meat more then 4 times a week.
