TW* gross picture. Period Help worried

Hi all long time lurker first time poster.
I had my second baby 9 months ago and have had awful heavy periods ever since, has felt like postpartum bleeding never stopped.
Waiting for scan and gynaecology appt but three days ago I had a contraction like pain and pushed out a conked size hard lump that looks like uncooked sausage with dark liver like specks. Doctor says nothing they can do, as long as no severe pain and well in myself to wait for appt but it’s happened again today and I am so scared and wondering if anyone has experienced similar. I don’t ever feel particularly well but I put that down to non stop bleeding and general life, very anaemic.

I am 32, first baby natural birth, second c section if that makes any difference. Thanks in advance and apologise for the gross pictures .

I used to get these big livery lumps the first few years I had my period. Bleeding was also very heavy and terrible cramps (which probably coincided with passing the lumps). It stopped when I went on the pill and didn't come back when I came off it a few years later.

So yes, it can absolutely be normal to pass big chunks of uterine lining at one go rather than it breaking down and it looks pretty much like that.

Thank you for the re assurance, this is all new to me so maybe I need to look at some birth control to get on top of it
