A member asked:
Ok i'm really freaked out now. why are clots coming out of me after natural delivery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lochia - normal.: Some blood clots can still pass after vaginal delivery (especially within the first week); they are called lochia and represent the byproduct of the normal process of uterine involution and endometrial/decidual sloughing. Do not freak out! consult your obstetrician if this amounts to significant blood loss and/or you develop symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, wekaness affecting your daily life.
