my mom had a miscarraige and she said it was exactly like that except hers came out while going to the bathroom. make sure she calls the doctor because if it is not a miscarraige it could be something else very dangerous

Uh... she should call her doctor right away! This is very important! Even if it isn't a miscarriage, there may be some other problem that needs to be looked into.
Here is a link to webmd regarding miscarriage symptoms.

This is from the site onewoman.
Blood is pushed out of your uterus when the uterus contracts (you don't necessarily feel these contractions, but when they are strong, you feel them as cramps). The uterus releases "anti-coagulants" during menstruation. These are supposed to keep the blood from clotting up as it passes from the uterus to the vagina, thus making the whole bleeding process easier.
But if you have days of heavy cramps and heavy bleeding, you may pass dark, chunky clots of blood. On such days your contractions are so fast and so strong that the blood gets forced out before the anti-coagulants have time to take effect. So the blood clots. And you pass big chunky gobs of stuff.
If the clots you are passing are larger than, say, a quarter, you might want to ask your doctor about it, because that indicates that your periods are quite heavy, and they might want to check for fibroids (benign tumors).

that sounds very, very much like a miscarriage. i would call her up right away, and tell her that she needs to go to the doctor as soon as possible. even though there isnt a baby inside of her anymore, the doctor can make sure that ALL of the baby came out of her. if there's still remains, she could get a horrible and painful infection!
