passing blood clots after c/s maybe tmi

[Arimeh]

Um.. no.. not that long afterwards. Usually only about a week at the most.

I'd get it checked out babe.

I agree with Mel, I'd get it checked out.

I agree, get it checked out. I bled for only about a week to 10 days, but it gradually became very, very light (1st child). It was a little different with (2nd child) I still had light bleeding at the 6 week checkup and the doctor sent me for an ultrasound, just to see if I had any conception retained products, if so I was going to have a D&C...all turned out ok and the bleeding eventually came to a stop.

I agree It would be a good idea to get things checked out

It can happen but you do need to be checked. It can be a sign of infection or of retained products (less likely post c-section). They don't like to do a D&C due to the risk of perforating the uterus but you may need to be on some antibiotics. It can be part of the decidua (endometrial lining) being passed.

Monitor for fever, odours, funny coloured discharge etc but see your doctor / OB and get checked to be sure. If it is just the clots occasionally without soaking pads as well a course of antibiotics or just monitoring may be enough. If it is soaking into pads (and more than your normal period volume) it is an emergency and you need to get to a hospital ASAP for assessment.
