    Is it stomach pain or bowel pain? I had indegestion and stomach cramps on and off for about 4 weeks... Are you going to the bathroom regularly?? If not, I'd call your doctor other than that, it should go away soon.

    That doesn't sound normal. Check w your doctor. That's what they are there for. Call the on call nurse and see if she has suggestions. I took stool softeners and gas x for quite a bit after c/s.

    I had this on and off for about six months. I was not constipated and my doctor pretty much blew me off. I don't know if it is exactly normal, but it did go away eventually.

    I've heard a lot about people being gassy post c-sections. But I'd check with your doc just in case.

    Yes this is normal and I though something was very wrong with my surgery when I had these pain's. I told the doc and they gave me medication, but I don't remember the name of the medication talk to your doc. Good luck!

    I was severely constipated and has extreme gas pains for the 1st 3 wks after my Csection. It took almost 2 mos to get back to normal, I took milk of magnesia and colace to help straighten things out, plus ate a FiberPlus bar daily

    Make sure you're drinking enough! When I was bf'ing I was horribly constipated (and dry all around if you KWIM) until DS dropped a feeding around 4mo. My gf suggested that I was probably a little dehydrated since it eased up once that feeding stopped. Also gas-x (which is simethicone, the same thing that I was given in the hospital) helped and try and ease up on the gassy veggies (broccoli and beans). Maybe it's a certain food that's making it worse... For me it was broccoli.
