Strange Abdominal Pain

Anyone had/have what feels like intestinal pain on there left side postpartum? At first I thought maybe it was gas, but it took hours to go away. It feels sharp and throbs. I have been palpating the area which brings a little relief, but confused what it could be. I had my baby a week ago and have been feeling pretty much normal until this.

  • No experience but from what Ive read it could be your uterus shrinking back down to size. If you are really concerned though call your doctor

  • I'm not sure about the left side, but I've gotten terrible pains that radiate down... basically into my butt (sorry). I remember it happening last time too. Its stop-you-in-your-tracks type Sharp pain. Turns out it's constipation. Even though I'm not super constipated, a little bit is a big pain! Maybe try some colace and gas drops?
