They usually say only worry if its bigger
than a quarter. Ur bound to have some
clotting and what ur getting now is most
likely ur first period. April's real good
at explaining this stuff lol! But its
totally normal and sometimes u might clot
a tiny bit in ur second period too... Its
just ur body's way of expelling the bad
stuff!

Not to be nasty, but I had my baby (3rd)
at 1010 on the night of the 23rd, and
yesterday I passed a clott he size of a
newborn baby kitten (you know b4 the mom
takes it out of its little sac) (ew) and
it totally freaked me out. The nurse
said to tell her if I had clots bigger
than normal, so I called her to come see
this one and she said it was
normal....Damn, what isn;t then? So I
think you are ok

Clotting is normal, usually a clot is a
bunch of blood that was like stuck (like
when you are laying down) and it starts
clotting. Anything bigger than like a
quarter you are supposed to tell them
about, and then they check it out to make
sure you dont have like chunks of placenta
in you.
Im breastfeeding, and still havent gotten
a period. My daughter is 2 1/2 months
old....
Lol shauna, were you talking about me? Im
not good at explaining anything!

I had my baby exactly three weeks ago too
and I noticed the blood became a lot more
red, but no clots for me. I think you're
fine though

Sarahsweet, after I had mackenzie I
couldnt feel the clots come out even when
I was home I couldnt. So its not painful.
But u know when u do, u just have a
feeling but sometimes u dont know. I
dunno its hard to explain, but the passin
clots doesnt hurt
