Big blood cloth 7 days after birth

Apologies for the disgusting picture! I’m 7 days post partum and I just passed this big jelly blood cloth. No pain and no foul smell.
I called triage and the midwife said not to worry if it’s just one. To call again if it’s more than one.

Has any of you had this before? Did it turn out to be fine?

I was still in hospital and they had me saving all my clots to show the nurses, they were all bigger than this, and I had multiple a day for the first 10 days, they really weren't that concerned 🙄
I think as long as actual bleeding doesn't increase there happy. Alot of these clots are just blood that has congealed in the cervix before being passed, especially of you have been sat or lay for a long period of time

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
