Placenta remains?

I had a premature delivery of my baby at 6 months (miscarriage) 10 days ago... The placenta came out with the umbilical cord few mins after my baby came out. But the next day, while still in the hospital ward, i have a piece of placenta hanging out from below there, and the doctor had to scoop out the remains which is the size of my palm. The past few days, i still have bits & pieces of placenta (definitely not blood clot) coming out, followed by a heavy flow of bright red blood... Is that normal? Do i have to go to the hospital to get them remove everything as soon as possible? Or do i just let it be?

You should go to the hospital. Retained placenta can cause a lot of bleeding. They should have checked that the placenta was complete before discharging you actually

Yes please go back to hospital to get it check. You don’t want any infections etc
