PP uterus shrinking contractions

ns1

Can someone remind me how long these go on?!

Ow! I forgot how much these hurt, and I'm thinking it's probably worse this time around.

I'm 2 weeks out (STM) and I get random ones here and there but the constant, rather painful ones stopped around the day we came home (3 days post delivery).

My dr said they r worse after each pregnancy Think mine lasted about a week. Breastfeeding makes them bad too almost made me want to quit it was so painful. My LO is 3 weeks now

Mine lasted 2-3 days. I'm a FTM and have heard as pp said that it's worse for your second, third lo.

I never noticed cramps with my first but I'm still getting them with my second. Worse was day4/5.

DD1 was over a week of pretty painful ones, DD2 was only 3 days really bad, and hardly noticeable now at 1 week PP. The 3 days this time around were brutal though, I was convinced my uterus was trying to murder me. I'd much prefer 1 week of sort of bad ones to the pain this round.

STM and mine only lasted for about 4 days.

Thanks all! Here's hoping these things only last days (at least at this intensity) and not weeks!

With DS (my first) cramps seemed to be over by the time I left the hospital, this time I'm still noticing them fairly often at times at 6 days pp. They're no fun.

Same here. They are only mild now, 8 days PP and usually come during pumping/feeding.
