Quick question... I had my son last Tuesday, and I was wondering how long am I supposed to bleed?? Is it normal for there to be "chunks"? Well I guess it would be clots more than chunks... but it kinda looks like someone took a spoonful of grape jelly and plopped it into the toilet or my pad... (sorry if TMI). So is this normal postpartum, or should I think about calling my doctor?

I will NEvER look at grape jelly the same again !!! LMAO. I had my son 7 years ago via c section. and I remember that as well. My doctor at the time told me it was the uterine wall shedding.. Granted now that uterine wall has been there for 40 weeks.. so unlike a "fresh" one after a month it's going to be nastier looking. I think your fine. If your concerned call the doctor. sometimes you can hemmorage after childbirth. But you would know because it would be BRIGHT red clots and blood for weeks after your delivery.Good luck and congrats on your bundle of joy!
