Thanks Krysalyss - I am usually pretty good at asking questions but at my 6 week checkup my baby was screaming her lungs out so the doc literally poked my stomach and I paid $50 for it. I just couldn't concentrate with her crying and I left without answers.

I saw a community nurse after that and mentioned some symptoms and referred me to
a postnatal physio and I had ultrasound for pelvic ligament soreness for what I described as sore muscles in my abdomen, pelvis and the ligament in my inner-leg. I mentioned the discharge to her too. She didn't suggest that the symptoms could be related and I certainly didnt - but this morning I've read that you can actually get an infection which can spread into the pelvic area which would certainly explain the tenderness in my pelvis and abdomen which ultrasound and gentle stretching hasn't helped with. It's all starting to add up as in the last week I have also been feeling increasingly sick and fatigued - which I just put down to caring for a newborn and breastfeeding - I'm beginning to see that these all point to something not being quite right because of the discharge too.
