Miscarriage?

Question:

I am experiencing my first period after my baby. It started with dark spotting then, a day or so later, red blood. Now, a lot of blood came out and there was some pink, stringy tissue. Is this normal? Has anyone else had this? Is it a miscarriage?

Answers:
Symptoms of a miscarriage include:

Vaginal bleeding that may be light or heavy, constant or irregular. Although bleeding is often the first sign of a miscarriage, first-trimester bleeding may also occur with a normal pregnancy. Bleeding with pain, however, is a sign that miscarriage is more likely.3
Pain. You may have pelvic cramps, abdominal pain, or a persistent, dull ache in your lower back. Pain may start a few hours to several days after bleeding has begun.
Blood clots or grayish (fetal) tissue passing from the vagina.
It is not always easy to tell whether a miscarriage is taking place. A miscarriage often does not occur as a single event but as a chain of events over several days. One woman's physical experience of a miscarriage can be very different from another woman's experience.

You just had a baby? In any event, I think I'd see a doctor.
