I have had a D&C and they have put packing inside. Is this normal?

Sometimes yes.
You will experience some bloody discharge. It should not be more than a light period initially. You may continue to have staining for 12-14 days. If you are experiencing heavy vaginal bleeding or clotting requiring you to change a pad an hour, you need to call your physician right away. During the procedure, packing may be used to stop bleeding. It is a natural product that may be absorbed or it may fall out. It may look black or bloody, which is normal. Your physician will tell you if packing was used.

I had a D&C done for diagnostic purposes in 1999 and my dr did not put any kind of packing inside. That doesn't sound normal to me. I would recommend calling your dr to ask about that.
