Was it a huge gelatinous semi solid dark bloody clot? Or was it more meaty and solid, sort of like a meaty peach pit? (only larger?) Either one is not great, the first means a huge clot, the second, placental or fetal tissue (from a piece of the placenta which is MOST likely or a twin that died early on - VERY unlikely).
If you can bear it and if you have the mass that came out of you, please wrap it up in a plastic baggie stick it in the freezer, and take it into the doctor, he/she may want to see it. Make an appt today. Tell them you have the mass that came out of you, do they want you to bring it? Don't just thrust it out of your purse without warning.
Most likely a piece of the placenta was retained, sometimes it doesn't come away completely from the wall of the uterus or there is a small piece of it breaks off. They are supposed to check in the delivery room but don't always notice.
At any rate, take it in to have the MD look at it to see what it is. Then get an ultrasound to see if any tissue remains, you may need a D&C. Hopefully it's all out and you won't. You are lucky it came out on it's own, usually it leads to late postpartum hemorrhage.

This could have been the scab from where the placenta was attached to the uterus. It could also be some placenta tissue. You need to call your doctor if you are saturating more than 1 pad in 30 mins. This is completely saturated or if the discharge has a foul odor and a fever.

It may be that not all the tissue came out after you gave birth. If you are having heavy bleeding (soaking 1 pad per hour) you should contact your doctor. Actually, you should probably call your doctor just based on the information you've given. You may need a D&C to remove anything left behind in your uterus and prevent infection.

Yes you can get pregnant that soon...that is where irish twins come in! Babies born less than a year apart. Maybe you should call the MD and ask about the morning after pill. You have 72 hours from the time of unprotected sex to take it and it is 89% effective....and it is not an abortion pill, that is not how it works! It causes your cervical mucus to thicken, which makes it hard for sperm to pass and it thins out your uterus which would make it hard for a fertilised egg to implant, that is why it has to be taken by 72 hours! If the egg does implant and you do become pregnant there is NO harm to the baby from the pill.

If your bleeding is heavy it could be bad maybe you should call your doctor. Or it may just be a clot that came out. That's why the doctors are supposed to clean you out real good. But you don't want to himerige so call the doctor.

Yes, it's normal to still be passing clots of material for a few weeks after giving birth...unless you have a fever, or a foul smelling discharge. I'd suggest calling your OBGyn to reassure yourself. Being especially active after giving birth can increase the bloody discharge--called lochia--are you resting enough?
Be very kind to yourself.
Good luck!

I gue it could have been part of the placenta. Call your doc. That's not normal. Could cause an infection if anything gets stuck inside your body.

This happened to me. It turned out to be More placenta and it made me lose a lot of blood. I only waited an hour. You need to get to your doctor to be sure. When I was done having my DNC, they told me too mant woman ignore these types of things.

Call the Dr. Believe me they have seen all and have answered all kinds of questions. They will not think anything of it. It might be nothing to worry about. But better to be safe than sorry.

It's probably the rest of the placenta. To be on the safe side, go see your doctor asap.
