weird brown mucusy blob 4 weeks after c-section?

[madraykin.livejournal.com]

I had a C-section 4 weeks ago, I had to because my baby was in the complete breech position so although I went into labour on my own.. I never dilated past 2cms.
I had lochia type bleeding for 2 weeks after the c-section and then it tapered off to fresh bleeding only occasionally after I fed my son (I am breastfeeding on demand)...however, for the past 4-5 days I've been experiencing something similar in consistency to EWCM except brownish/streaked with blood and then last night after I went to the toilet I noticed this enormous blob of mucus hanging out of me.  It was about 1 inch wide and 4 inches long but very stretchy and almost unbreakable, brownish/red like old blood.  

After I gave birth we had to take me off our health insurance plan because the premium went up to $800 a month for the family plan and we can't afford that.  I tried to get a private plan but I have a pre-existing health condition which makes me uninsurable.. so I can't go to the Doctor about this.

I don't have a fever, the blob thing didn't smell bad and I'm otherwise feeling ok..
Has anyone else experienced something like this?

If it is a blood clot that you're describing that is that big I don't think there's much choice about going to the doctor. I was told that anything bigger than a quarter was something to be concerned about after each of my deliveries.

Congratulations on the birth of your little one and best of luck!

Family Planning Clinics and/or Planned Parenthood often have ways to help you get care in spite of being "uninsured". Please check into these options in your area; that much discharge sounds like something that should be addressed at a post-partum check up, if not sooner.

Congratulations on the little one!
