Answer

What is the reasoning of why it’s bad to pass a big clot? I passed a huge clot like 1 week PP, I never called the dr or anything because now I’m 5 weeks PP and haven’t passed one sense....

Answer

Yes its normal to pass blood clots after giving birth just not huge ones

Answer

Yes, I had one larger than a hockey puck-- which isn't normal, but there was no harm done. They said I'd probably have less bleeding because of it 🤷🏽‍♀️ I gave birth on friday.

Answer

Blood clots are normal after giving birth. There are a few signs you should be on the lookout for as they can indicate infection or hemorrhage: — bright red bleeding after the 3rd day after birth — difficulty breathing — fever higher than 100.4ºF (38ºC) — foul-smelling vaginal discharge/fluid — separation of stitches in the perineum or abdomen — severe headaches — loss of consciousness— soaking more than 1 pad per hour with blood — passing very large clots (golf ball-sized or larger) more than 24 hours after giving birth. A tip my midwife said to me was to see if I could break up the clot. If you squish the clot and roll it around as you do so, it should become liquid/soak into the toilet paper with no leftover pieces. If it doesn’t breakdown easily or partially, it can mean that their could be a problem and you should go to a doctor ASAP.
Reducing blood clots after birth — Drink plenty of water and take a stool softener to make your stool easier to pass. This can reduce the risks for disrupting any stitches or tears. — Follow your doctor’s recommendations for postpartum activity. Too much activity could lead to bleeding and affect your healing. — Wear support hose in the postpartum period. This adds an extra “squeeze” to your lower legs, which helps return blood to your heart and reduces the risk of blood clots. — Elevate your legs when sitting or lying down. — Wash your hands frequently and avoid touching your stitches to prevent bleeding and reduce the risks for infection.
