1.) My bleeding has completly stopped but they said I would bleed from red to white. I havent had any white?? Should I be concerned? Because thats suppose to be the plasma right?
2.) I still have my stictches. When are they suppose to dissolve?? Sometimes when i sit down or stand up they pull and it hurts. It gets aggravating!!
3.) When I was in the hospital, I had a huge clot. The size of a softball!!! I told the nurses and she just said let me know if it happens again.
Ever since then I have had tons of clots, which I know is perfectly normal, but some are the size of tennis balls. My paper said if any is bigger than that size to call and especially if you have a headache that seems to stay.
I guess my question is I have had a headache that wont go away. I have had it for 4 days now. My bleeding has stopped. Could that be a blot clot doing that? Should I be worrried and go ahead and phone my gyno?

I bled for 3 weeks.. and passed some relativly huge clots by times. as far as the stitiches go, i can't remember how long it took, for them to dissolve. I do remember pieces of them. It was almost like they turned soft, and fell apart. I would get little soft pieces when a wiped or washed. Everyone is different though.

Well I will have to call my doctor tomorrow. They are done gone today. Since I dont have bad bleeding, they will probably say everything is fine. But I rather be safe than sorry. Thanks for the replys. I will defintly cal tomorrow.

I was told if I had clots bigger than a quarter then I should get checked out. I couldn't imagine a tennis ball sized clot!
*edited to add.....
I had a c-section tho, so maybe it's different for patients that gave vaginal birth.
