Sforno on Leviticus 12:4/ספורנו על ויקרא י״ב:ד׳
אבִּדְמֵי טָהֳרָה. כִּי עִם הֱיוֹתוֹ דַּם נִדּוֹת, אֵינוֹ מֵהַוֶּסֶת שֶׁל עַכְשָׁיו, אֲבָל הוּא מִן הַוְּסָתוֹת שֶׁקָּדְמוּ בִּימֵי הַהֵרָיוֹן, שֶׁכְּבָר נִתְעַפְּשָׁה וְנִפְסְדָה צוּרַת דַּם אוֹתָם הַוְּסָתוֹת וְטֻמְאָתָם.
1בדמי טהרה, although this blood could not have originated from a new ovulation but dates back to the last ovulation before she had become pregnant, whatever had happened at that time is no longer relevant the whole appearance of that blood having changed completely.
