Is this normal?

[Vic27]

I gave birth to my son 10 days ago and needed a lot of stitches afterwards. Everything has been fine until today my bleeding has been a bit more and I've had a couple of clots the size of a 50p piece is this normal? X

Probably nothing to worry about, but would be worth giving your on-call midwife office a ring, they'll be able to give you advice. Might say fir you to go to DAU to get checked over. Have you had your 10 day check yet? x

Tapatalking!

Thanks for replying I've got my 10 day check on we'd had a check on Friday everything was fine I just passed another clot but it was bigger this time I don't feel crampy or anything my appetite is a bit funny but just putting that down to tiredness not had any pain with it so think it'll b ok gonna keep am eye on it this evening and phone mw in the morning just to check x

My MW said that small blood clots are quite normal...but if you get any that are bigger than a 50p, to get in touch with her asap - just so you can get checked over for peace of mind.

I used to find as well that if I over exerted myself in the early days, my bleeding would get heavier with bigger clots...try and take it easy xx

I had dark green poo's on SMA. It's gone light green on hipp organic, it's easier for his tummy. Try colic massage
