unsure if bleeding is normal after birth

[~clover~]

I had the on/off spotting for 8 weeks after DS. I think its different every time.
I got AF back when he was 9 months, but its usually every 6 weeks or so.

Thanks ladies, my midwife said everything is normal......so phew.
Only to be worried if it goes dark red or i start passing big clots or bleeding doesnt stop.
After i had given birth i got 2nd degree tear, but had clots so she had to "fish" them out, after i got stitched up and about 20-30min later i went to toilet and passed 2 HUGE blood clots, and was pouring with blood for about 2-3min, it all settled. I didnt pass any more clots til after i got home and passed smallish ones and then a big one, but with no extra bleeding, so everything was ok.
I keep an eye out everytime for clots, its scary, i never had any clot issues with lachie so this is all new to me, but im sure with time, it'll all heal up and i'll wonder what i was worried about!!

Thanks ladies
