Hi! I had my daughter 2 weeks ago. I had bleeding which pretty much stopped a week after giving birth. Then, 3 nights ago I woke up with cramps and all of a sudden a huge gush of bright red blood came out. I had to change my pad and then a few minutes later I had a huge cramp and another gush of blood and I felt something "big" coming out. It was a blood clot the size of my hand!
I took put the blood clot in a bag so the doctor could look at it and went to the ER. Once at the ER the bleeding slowed down. But it was such a scary experience...and so unexpected. They did a ultrasound at the ER and "thought" there might be something left in there but they weren't positive...thankfully they said I wouldn't need a D&C and instead gave me some medicine to get my uterus to contract. I took it for a day and had more bleeding, but no clots.
I went to the doctor yesterday and she did another ultrasound and said it seemed normal to her. But she said I "could" still pass another clot but didn't think I needed a D&C.
So confused! I have cramping everyday right now and the bleeding has lessened but not let up yet. I'm scared I'll have another clot or lots of bleeding...anyone else experience this?
