TMI a photo period Aibu to think this isn't normal

[tmiperiod]

Hiya I've just had my period I'm on day 3
It's been sore this month I had a baby 6 months ago this is my second period

Is this normal 🥹 i am worried

Aibu to think this isn't normal

That looks fairly normal to me…? I usually have small clots like that, it’s the lining.

That just looks like clots to me. I have found I get more clots post babies and the older I get.

Oh is it? I didn't know 😞 I didn't know you get clots
It all sort of rushed out like that I've just thrown away my knickers and it went all over the sofa I'm so embarrassed and I know my husband won't care but I feel disgusting
I was going to ring my doctor I didn't know it was ok for clots
Thank you for the reassurance

All my periods are like that. It's not pleasant but you will be OK.

Best wishes to you. x

This is about 1/20th of the size of the clots I get so very normal.

Looks normal to me. I'm rubbish with towels and tampons and always flood. Much with a menstrual cup. No leaks.

That's mild compared to day 3 for me, I use tena nighttime pads for the first 3 or 4 days of my period it's the only thing that can cope with the carnage!

Pretty normal for me too.
If it's not normal for you there is no harm in speaking to the doctor about it.

Ok I'm very reassured by this

Gosh that sounds really hard for a lot of you

Have you tried tranexamic acid for the bleeding? @RoseDog

Since I've had children I've had big clots in my periods, even more so now I'm perimenopausal. The last period I had a huge clot, like a big lump of liver! Sorry TMI I know!

Post kids my periods are horrendous.
Clots at least 10 times the size of yours, I actually feel them coming out as they are so big.
Also plenty of "gushes" that no tampon or pad can fully handle.
I have to wear a tampon and 2 pads, one at the front and one at the back of my pants.
And I have to change my heavy flow tampon every hour.
This is all normal for me post children 😫

Quite normal in the post Partum period op, periods can be quite heavy in the months after you've had your baby x

I had similar after having my first, I only had the one really heavy period and then my body went back to its usual routine after that.

Oh god you poor poor thing how scary

We all talk about periods and flow but until I visualise someone else's it's very hard to know if it's normal isn't it? I bet you got a fright when that happened

I had clots about 5 x that size from 14, knew no different.

I used maternity pads for the first few periods after I gave birth. They are horrendous aren't they! Hope you feel better soon

Very normal. Your body is shedding the lining of the womb, so there will be clots.

Also, it looks worse because your pad has soaked up the liquid blood, leaving the clots behind.

It’s normal. You’re only 6months Pp, your body still goes through lot of hormonal changes

Not had kids and mine are far far far more clotty than that. Always have been.

Thanks so much for the support I feel better for reading these replies
