Red Rubber Hard

Red Rubber Hard
Ok I have searched every where and I have this antique bottle w/ box says biberon de mon bebe. what is it?

the box has a lithograph on yellow paper with red ink. Bottle is glass corked with wood cork w/ glass tube down inside through center....a plastic or rubber tube got hard and broke off, the "nipple" is made of porcelin and broke off from dryrot as well. Pure cotton batting is still inside the box, also at the bottom of the lithograph are the letters G.C. I really need help with this I know its french, but not sure what it is or how much it is worth.

Biberon translates as "feeding cup" or "infant bottle" and de mon bebe translates literally as "of my baby" so syntactically what you have is my baby's bottle.

I have no idea what the G.C. might stand for, nor do I know what this item would be worth. I would guess not very much, simply because of its deteriorated state, though the box would offset some of that diminishment in value. Still, it is a piece for which there would be a limited market even if it were in mint condition so I would not expect to get much of a price for it. If you like it I suggest you simply keep it as a curiousity.

This is gross, post partum.?

I'm a little worried...I had my baby 2 months ago, and have been bleeding since. I just went to the bathroom, wiped, and noticed a large piece of something, like some tissue? Part of it was a bit hard/rubber(white), and then the outter part was mucousy(red/bloody)..I know this sounds extremely gross, but what could it be?

Well, I bled for almost 6 full weeks, and then spotted until week 12 or so... ugh. What a pain.

BUT... I do remember passing a clot that was the size (in roundness) of a silver dollar. I could actually feel it passing and I sat down on the toilet and out it came! I know it sounds silly, but did you already flush it? I know you say what it was like, but if you think it might be a blood clot... maybe that is ok. If you can look again at it - do that. But, if you think it had more to it, I'd give the doctor a call just to check. No sense in worrying yourself and just going with what all of us say if we're not sure. Doctors are there for you - both day and night.

Best of luck. Don't panic, but just place a call....
