Yeah I experienced much the same after my birth however the shower was in the labour room & I was helped into it by the middy & my DF and I was placed on the chair. I'd had an episiotomy & there was a load of blood & clots that came out. I didn't know that this would happen but the middy was at the door of the shower keeping an eye on me and she just said don't worry, it's all normal.

People tell you all sorts of stories about birth & what happens afterwards but not one person warned me about the possibility of that happening. The shower room looked like someone had been murdered in it - that's how much blood there was. I gave birth 6 1/2 months ago & I'm still low in iron storage. I guess some of us just lose more blood than others.
