it's mucus and chunks of vaginal tissue.  It's normal and happens to everyone.

Answer 4

Clotting is normal. It looks like little "blobs". Just your body cleaning itself out.

The only time you need to worried about them is when they are the size of a nickel or larger... then you need to see a doctor that day.  

Answer 5

No , it is very normal. And it is just blood clots

Answer 6

No it's natural. Clotting is the word we use for blood platelet aggergation. Meaning while your uterine wall is shedding its lining and your bleeding some of that blood is going to clot (become solidified) and will come out as small to medium clumps rather than a steady flow. Nothing to worry about. Everyones body has clotting factors and some are stronger than others.

Nothing to worry about!
