Cramps 7 weeks after C-Section!

[firstbub]

Hello everyone,

I had a c-section 7 weeks ago and everything seemed to go well. The last couple of days though I have been experiencing cramps in my lower abdomen as well as back pain. My stomach is a little bloated as well. I have started exercising again so do you think I have over done it? Or do you think it is my period returning?

I have booked an appt with the GP as I feel worried. Any replies would be appreciated!

are you b/f if not could be sign of AF returning but then even if b/f AF could be arrving

also maybe you did overdo it going to the dr is the best I can think of

:hugs:

I agree with Rach.. I think you may have overdone it a bit.. I got this at 4 weeks after cus I went for a walk and I was pretty crampy for a few days afterwards.

I was also Bf and AF returned around 6-9 weeks.. can't remember now.. Good Luck at the GP

Take it easy. I agree that you may have overdone it a little. At only 7 weeks you are still healing. I was still on drs orders to rest 8 weeks after mine, but I had other complications! Gentle exercise was doable!!

I still had the occasional cramp 12 months after mine especially after exertion. Thankfully now they have gone but my OB warned me that it takes a while to heal and to expect the occasional cramp as it does.

I would go to my GP - i had cramping and i ended up having to have a curette as I still had 'stuff' (cannot think of medical name at the moment - seriously pregnant foggy brain) to clean from my uterus.

Good luck
