Could I have a blood clot?

Question

I'm 9 days postpartum. My bleeding has been non-stop or atleast was until now. I haven't bled like onto my pad since yesterday evening maybe time is a blur right now. A few days ago I showered and after I got out I passed a blood clot which was my second one I had one at the hospital but they weren't goofball size so no worries. 
My concern is I'm not bleeding on my pad but in the toilet there are pieces of clots. Just wondering what others think . Is it just slowed maybe? Should I be concerned that it could be a clot? Tips to maybe pass it if it sounds like it is.

Answer

I would give your doctor a call and see what he/she says. When I had my first I bled heavily for about 4 weeks or so. I had a c section as well. I’m not sure how much of a difference that would make

Answer

Is your belly distending?  If you’re worried at all, call your doctor and ask for an appt. My bleeding slowed down a lot with my last and I ended up passing several huge clots 1 week PP and having to have an emergency D&C and blood transfusions from hemorrhaging. The clots had just blocked up and then it all came out at once when they moved. They said what happened was really rare but it’s always a good idea to follow your gut if you think something is off.

Answer

Breastfeeding could alter it but you should still be bleeding. I’d call. I had this with my second and thought I was just mostly done, but I had a bunch of fluid and possible postpartum preeclampsia
