Postpartum bleeding question

I am 13 days pp, I don't remember what it was like with my 1st. This time around I bled really light at first.  Then as the days went on it would get heavier, then lighter, then heavier.  It kind of fluctuates with when I nurse him.  However, I just went to the bathroom and actually felt a clot come out of me (tmi sorry). I couldn't see it because it disappeared. Is this normal? I feel fine other than that and the usual cramping from breastfeeding.

Okay.  Since them I bled a little last night and haven't since.  So I don't know maybe that was it and it just needed out? It definitely wasn't the size of a lemon lol. Just alarming to feel it come out

I'm the same way I seem to bleed more right after I nurse. My doc says a clot bigger then a marshmallow is cause for concern but that little ones now and then are normal.

Clots, even large ones, are normal unless they're larger than the size of a lemon (which is pretty damn big).

I've had the same thing just happen to me. Wondering the same exact thing.
