Stomach pains after birth

[ShootingStar]

Hey there,

I have been getting stomach pains over the past week or so, that come and go a couple of times each day. Its basically around most of my stomach and is like a really bad tightening pain, perhaps similar to period pain but more centered in my stomach. DH suggested its possibly just my stomach moving back into place but sometimes the pain is so sharp im doubling over.
Has anyone experienced this and could it be something more than just my stomach re-adjusting?

I'd suggest giving your dr a call. Sounds a bit wierd.
Your stomach muscles will be bringing themselves back together at this time (they split from sternum to pelvis during pregnancy) but still its a bit wierd that this should be hurting.
Give your GP a call and book in for an appt. I hope everything is OK.

i was thinking afterpains maybe? but i dont think they should be that severe at 2 weeks post natal. i agree, go see your doctor just to be on the safe side.
