Blood Clots After Over 3 Weeks Postpartum
Posted: 11-04-06 20:47pm

How long should blood clots last after labor? Its going on 4 weeks and I still have fairly large/long clots. They aren't larger then a golf ball like they usually say is a sign of a problem. But I also read bleeding usually stops after 21 days and shouldn't be red after 4 days. Does anyone know if this is a problem or not?

I actually passed a piece of placenta a month after having my baby. I freaked out and called the doctor and he said that as long as they were coming out, he wasn't concerned.

Clots are normal. My bleeding let up at about 5/6 weeks post pardom.

I had sex for the 1st time at the same time. It was like... Shocked
