Passing Clots - Page 2

Jolinar · Jan 2nd, 2010, 18:28 PM

Sounds like the mucus stuff you can get with lochia, I got tons of the stuff all blood stained, it is difficult to tell the difference between that and clots. Was it all stringy? Clots tend to be er...more firm iykwim.

My MW told me the clots were a sign I was over doing things, basically feeding and changing the baby is all you should do for the first 4 weeks, not easy I know when the baby has puked over the last of the clean baby grows, your only clean top and the duvet on your bed

erm i guess like the others said it was like a liver? thats a good description? it was like jelly, not sure if it was stringy cos it was all together but it wasnt firm and it wasnt a circle shape it was just a big blob!

when the midwives said clots may come i thought they meant the little things you sometimes get during your period!
I remember feeling like my insides were turning out and something was falling out, then i went to loo and found that monster!
christ! i remember bursting into tears and calling hubby upstairs!

i only cried tho cos i was in pain cos i had an infection which was diagnosed the next day.

they should show people the size of them to warn people.

they should show us or at least draw a picture its scary when you see something like that makes us atomatically think somethings wrong!

yeah my midwife said its often a result of overdoing things frig only change and feed baby for first 4 weeks??!! I was out xmas shopping two days after lo was born

and have to wash babygro's etc! lol

maybe it was overdoing things, i hoovered my room and upstairs hall and tidied etc, first time id done it since. But it was scary i just stared at it for a while like omg, OMG, holy shit whats that! then called my mum, but dunno why its not like i showed her!

just shouted thru the wall i had this huge thing on the tissue! haha! went to pee earlier and there was nothing, so ill just keep an eye on it overnight/tomorrow

It's so confusing cos they all say different things but I remember my mw saying to keep anything bigger than 50p for her to look at

but if ur mums friend said it's ok then ul be fine x

purpledahlia · Jan 3rd, 2010, 07:19 AM

well its long gone so nobody can look at it even iff they wanted too! hehe,

Bleeding has lessened tody and had no more of it so maybe it was just a build up of blood and it was blocked or something and came away? like it formed a kinda plug but thats it gone now?? : /
