I had my c-section three and a half weeks ago now and I am having bleeding problems. Last Friday I noticed an increase in my bleeding, but that's not saying much as it had been pretty light starting few days after my c-section. Along with getting more heavy it was also bright red, it was not at the level they say to call at so I just kept an eye on it. It continued over the weekend and on Monday I starting having small clots for the first time since having my baby, again not to a bad level. But around 5am yesterday blood started gushing out, then stopped and then did it again a while later. So I filled my pad well within the hour they say to call at. Then it all stopped so I decided I would just call my Dr when they opened at 9. But then at 7am I had 3 large blood clots, like 4in each and more smaller ones. My Dr had me come in and she did an internal and push on my stomach/uterus a lot. She was happy with what she saw and said to just call right away if it happened again but that hopfully it was just those clots I needed to pass. She told me it was okay if I passed one large clot by its self as long as it was not too big and my bleeding did not pick up again. So I did pass one more large clot today, but I am trying not too worry about it. And my bleeding it still bright red, but not that heavy really.. Anyways I was just wondering if anyone else had this happen? I am so hoping this is it and there won't be anymore. I am worried I have a piece of placenta still in me, my placenta did grow into my uterus so I guess I am worried it grew into something else they did not notice.

Re: pp bleeding question
I hope those clots were the last of it for you.
