I’m 14 days PP tomorrow and just passed a golfball-ish sized clot. Wednesday I was in the ER cause I had two incidences of excessive bleeding a few hours apart. That stopped though and I’ve been barely bleeding. Then the clot tonight. Has anyone experienced this and nothing come of it? They did lab work and it didn’t show infection or a drop in my levels from blood loss. My midwife does want me to come by tomorrow for an ultrasound just to be safe. She wants me to watch it for the next few hours though for more bleeding. This is my fourth and I never did this with the others.
I got one done a few hours ago actually! She said she sees no placenta but that there is still clots and some blood in the uterus for my body to get out. She measured it and said it’s within a normal range so she doesn’t want to intervene, and wants to let my body pass it on its own. If not, I’d be offered Cytotec to help contract my uterus and clear it. My uterus is in the right spot though. So hopefully my body does what it needs to cause she made that medicine seem very uncomfortable.
You may have retained tissue. Usually when you bleed excessively it's your body trying to clear something out. I would definitely get an ultrasound.
