Hi all.

Just a question- I am 7 days post giving birth. My bleeding started to slow a couple of days ago and has been very dark brown. I have been using 1-2 pads a day so I thought it was almost gone. About an hour ago I started having period pain. I went to the toilet and passed a large bright red clot- about the size of my palm...Now I have started bleeding again- not large amounts but bright red blood.

I am not overly concerned so I'm just wondering if i should be IYGWIM? Is this normal to pass such a large clot 1 week after birth?

Maybe I should ring my midwife...?

TIA

ETA: I am otherwise healthy- feeling well, no symptoms of anything
