Question about clots


I'm sorry if this is TMI. I had my baby six days ago and since then I have passed a couple of clots. I have asked my Midwife about this and she wasn't too concerned as they were about the size of a grape.
I passed one a couple of days after birth and have since passed one yesterday and today. I am seeing my Midwife again tomorrow and will tell her, but, I just wondered if it is normal to pass the odd clot anyway??
I feel fine I don't have any stomach pains or anything and on my hospital notes it does say placenta appeared intact when the hospital checked it.
I'm also wondering if it is because yesterday afternoon and this afternoon I have had a good clean up whilst baby is asleep and have I overdone it a bit?

Thanks everyone!

My midwife has just been and she has said the same as you all have. I've been told not to overdo it! Difficult not to though when everyone around you is quite happy to watch the housework pile up!!
