Help! Blood clots the size of a golf ball!

I got my D&C done on Monday morning, after miscarrying a couple weeks ago. Tuesday I was back in the hospital for severe pain. I wasnt bleeding at all though after the procedure. They found nothing. Gave me pain meds and antibiotic just in case. All wednesday night I couldnt sleep because of severe cramping. I had started to bleed that night. In the morning I passed a clot the size of a golf ball. Then yesterday, the same. Now its Saturday and Ive stopped bleeding so bad but, I passed FOUR golf ball size clots just today! I feel fine and i'm not in any pain at all. Its already almost 5:30 pm and if I go to the hospital now ill be there till 1AM. I think I shoud just wait till morning? But my mom says she doesnt want to have to go to my funeral. She says im gonna hemorage. But im not bleeding in between the clots now. I just dont know. Also I cant get a babysitter for my 1 yr old so hed have to come. That is a hectic situation.

Are you sure they were the size of golf balls, bcuz when i had my d&c i was saying the same thing, they were big but not the size of golf balls, what does your discharge paper say, does it say to report/call dr if you pass blood clots what size? My discharge papers went something like this


Call your health professional immediately if you have any of these symptoms after an d&c

Severe bleeding. Both medical and surgical abortions usually cause bleeding that is different from a normal menstrual period. Severe bleeding can mean:
Passing clots that are bigger than a golf ball, lasting 2 or more hours.
Soaking more than 2 large sanitary pads in an hour, for 2 hours in a row.
Bleeding heavily for 12 hours in a row.
Signs of infection in your whole body, such as headache, muscle aches, dizziness, or a general feeling of illness. Severe infection is possible without fever.
Severe pain in the abdomen that is not relieved by pain medicine, rest, or heat
Hot flushes or a fever of 100.4F or higher that lasts longer than 4 hours
Vomiting lasting more than 4 to 6 hours
Sudden abdominal swelling or rapid heart rate
Vaginal discharge that has increased in amount or smells bad
Pain, swelling, or redness in the genital area

I hope this helps, also, you can always call the er and tell them what you observe and if you should come in.  I hope all is well. Sorry about your loss, having a m/c is very difficult emotionally and physically
