Yes, this is normal.

The white of the eye, the sclera, is covered by a loose clear layer, the conjuctiva. This loops round to become the inside surface of the eyelid, so there is a closed "pouch" above and below the eye so there is no gap for a contact lens to "slide round behind the eye"

It's also loose enough so the eye can move right and left in the socket without "pulling" on the eyelids.

The conjunctiva is so loose that a tiny drop of blood from a burst capillary, which can happen when you sneeze, or take a contact lens out roughly, looks quite impressive since it spreads out like a drop of water between two pieces of glass.

Like any tissue the conjuctiva can get damaged or torn, but it needs significant trauma to do so and it's a pretty fast healer: the main worry being an infection getting in the tear or wound, should one occur. It's not something that happens to many contact wearers.

With an irritated eye, fluid temporarily under the conjunctiva can make it appear swollen and more bumpy than normal. (technical term: chemosis) You might have a bit of that if you're still acclimatising to the handling and wearing of contacts: no big worry.

go see an ophthalmologist right away. dont let somebody online diagnose you.

the eyes is one of the most important and sensitive organ on you so you must see a professional. you can afford to lose your sense of smell or hearing but not your eyes.

Eewww...yes...indeed go to a doctor immediately.
