Aibu to be worried about passing tissue vaginally 4 weeks pp?

[bottlesandcans]

I had my baby by c section four weeks ago in two days.

My postpartum bleeding stopped last week and I have had all the symptoms of a period this week and have started bleeding again with cramps, tender breasts etc- but I'm now passing tissuey type bits. Not large but numerous and frequently (more when I go to loo to wipe, change pad etc)
I didn't notice any tissue at all with postpartum bleeding.

I'm quite scared- is this normal?

Is that typical for your period? I always pass tissue and clots (sorry).

Nobody on the internet can say if it's okay. Call your MW or GP and get it checked out.

Do you have any other symptoms of infection? I would probably check it out tbh. My periods changed after pg (it is now my normal to have large 'clots' that I can feel exiting) but if this is more tissue based then I would go to the walk in and make sure.

I sometimes pass clots but I always thought they were supposed to be bloody?
I'm passing little lumps of tissue.

Will call GP. Thank you.

Speak to your GP. I passed bits of tissue after birth - quite different from period clots - and all was fine so not necessarily a problem. I think they checked the size of the "bits" though to make sure.

Speak to your GP or MW. I had this happen and it was connected to having had a ragged/incomplete placenta when second DC was born. It was utterly disgusting like big lumps of liver - bleugh. MW said as long as it didn't smell iffy, then it was probably ok and just part of the ragged bits finally coming out.

However, get it checked by a proper medical professional who really knows what they are talking about.

Oh, no, I pass both every month, blood clots and opaque bits of pinkish tissue. Sorry, it's a little gross.

Does it smell a bit off? I had this happen 18 days post partum. It was a bit smelly, took it in Tupperware to MAU it was retained membranes. I was given massive antibiotics and a scan.
Please call and go in - retained tissue is dangerous re infection. I left mine regardless of a bit of whiff as I didn’t want to make a fuss, I was told they were glad I came when I did.
I gave birth 18/9

I have exceptionally grim photos for comparison if you want I can pm them

Hi everyone.
I spoke to the GP and he said unless it gets particularly heavy or I feel unwell with a temperature it's probably nothing to worry about.

I'm quite surprised by the ferocity of the cramps in one side of my uterus though. I think I'd forgotten how horrible periods could be.

OP I had no temp but very bad cramps and needed a scan and antibiotics! Please call hospital labour ward for second opinion x
