Dark period?

Question

I just used the bathroom to change my pad, its period day 2 now and there was thick (almost black) like stuff on the pad? I've never seen anything that dark on the pad before so I'm just wondering if that's normal?

Answer

I asked the same thing of my mother when I started my period at 11 years old. She said it's normal and that it's still your menstral blood, just clotted. Needless to say, when I first saw it, I flipped, I thought something was wrong. But it's perfectly fine.
