Sorry for the pic but too worried to ask anyone in RL.

Had baby early hrs Tues.. So closer to. 72 hours ago.

Last night the after cramps were horrendous but not too bad today.
But just gone to loo and there was this.
Size wise. I'd say but bigger than a large marble iyswim

I don't remember this with the other 2 dcs

Yes I'd say normal. I was told anything under a 50p size is fine xx

SleepingStandingUp · 23/01/2020 19:44

Yeah agree, if its larger than a 50p I'd call, keep an eye on it tho, I guess lots thst size would also be a concern

EmbarrasingOne · 23/01/2020 20:25

Thank you. I was told nothing. Had baby. Home a couple of hours later.
One BP check and abdo check and that was all.
Baby had 1st checks day after.
I've had none as yet.

Yes, I had one that looked the same but was about the size of an orange Shock It was quite alarming and nobody had warned me that it was even a thing! Luckily I was still in hospital so could get it checked but it's just congealed blood.

I had one the size of my fist closer to the week mark, just blood nothing sinister but the midwifes told me to stick it in a tub in the fridge if I was concerned about it and they’d have a look through any I passed. You can always ring triage and they might offer a similar thing if you’re still getting visits at home.

EmbarrasingOne · 23/01/2020 21:41

Thank you. They sound huge.
No visits. I've heard nothing at all.. Baby first checks were bk at hospital and that was it.
Prob get a call tomorrow or Monday to arrange anything that needed.

I passed one about the size of a kiwi. Midwives were not concerned (or interested) Hmm

Yep me as well. I got asked if I'd been sitting on the edge of the bed. They had a look and poke at it anyway but it's apparently normal.

I dropped one the size of a small orange in hospital- freaked me out, the nursing staff looked at me like I was Daft.

beela · 23/01/2020 22:07

Me too, I had one the size of a peach. I was still in hospital so checked, they didn't bat an eyelid.

If you have any that are bigger please phone triage right away. I had this and turned out to be retained placenta which had to be surgically removed.
