Is This Normal???
Posted: 03-26-07 01:18am

Hey,

I'm a little freaked out here, so if anyone knows an answer PLEASE reply.

I gave birth two weeks ago to a beautiful baby boy...

I know there is supposed to be bleeding after giving birth but, here's the thing.

The Bleeding seemed to taper off to non existence when all of a sudden tonight I had a huge pocket of blood released, with a large clot. The blood was on the brightish red side, but the clot was dark... I washed off, and am now sitting here looking for an answer online... IS THIS NORMAL? Should I worry?

I know it might just be the rest of my placenta releasing from the uterus... but, is it normal for post pardom bleeding to stop... and then come back with a vengence for a brief second?

Once again, I'm a little freaked out, so any help easing my mind would be great...

If you've only passed one clot, I would try not to worry. If you start to feel faint at all, or notice heavy bleeding, or pass more clots... definitely contact your doctor as soon as possible.

If you don't have any more problems, just remember to mention this clot at your postpartum checkup.

Good luck.
