Has anyone else had this? It is pretty intense and only comes on occasion. I am a first time mom so I don't know if this is normal. I EBF if that makes a difference....
i EBF too but my cramps stopped after about 2 weeks. i got them mostly when i'd breastfeed him. i'm 5 weeks PP too now and i haven't had a cramp in several weeks... enough time to have started to forget i even had them in the first place
do you have a 6 week followup visit? i'd ask the doctor then.
I'm 5 weeks PP myself and have been having some cramping the past few days and random spurts of bleeding still. I did however have a c-section so I'm sure that makes a difference as well in the pain/cramping feeling for me.
Doesn't hurt to ask your doctor, everyone is different so it could be normal for you.
