Postpartum Bleeding

So my little lady was born two weeks ago on Wednesday. Sunday early morning I woke up with sever cramps and then they went away. Today I've passed about 3 small blood clots and have started bleeding a lot more and am cramping again. Has anyone had anything like this?

The cramps are still on and off but the bleeding has basically stopped. We had a very busy day Sunday and Monday was when I started bleeding more. I think it was just from so much activity. Thank you ladies for all the advice and responses!

My last pregnancy which was my 4th I felt like I was bleeding more than usual. I know some bleeding is normal. A few days later I passed what looked like tissue or something left over from maybe my placenta. After that the bleeding slowed down significantly, and was more like I'd seen in my previous births. If you get too concerned call your doctor to be safe.

With my first daughter ( stillbirth ). I bled for about 4 weeks afterwards. Some days were painful with clots and other days it was pretty tolerable. I was told by my doctor everyone is different and my period could have come right afterwards. Also as long as the clots were not as big as golf balls I was fine. I always had really painful periods with lots of clots so I'm unsure. Hope this helped.

You can unfortunately start getting your period right away so that's probably what it is :)

Id say its pretty normal. Some days my bleeding was lighter and others very heavy. If your passing clots bigger than a golfball or close to, then thats a concern and needs immediate attention.

Yea I wasn't sure. If it doesn't go away by the morning I'll be calling. @boeck0425 I was doing good and was honestly about to go down to panty liners my bleeding was so light. Then randomly today I started bleeding more.
