Hi Cara, welcome to BB. I'm so sorry for your loss. I too think it would be a good idea to get checked out. If your OB doesn't think it is worth worrying about, I'd get a second opinion elsewhere. You shouldn't have to just put up with pain like that - you should be able to get some sort of better explanation at least!
All the best. I hope you find the support you need here.
Hi,
I am very sorry for your loss. I just wanted to let you know that I has a similar situation after my first loss. I had a D&E with my son at 22 weeks. I was in pain for about 3 months. It was the worst a week or two before my period. I had sharp pain and a ton of awful cramps. The contractions lasted a couple of months too. My doctor told me it was everything shrinking back down to normal size. You should get it checked out just in case, make sure it isn't an infection.
Hi and welcome to BB. So sorry to hear about the loss of your precious baby.
Regarding your pains - Did the placenta come out intact? I too was having pains after I lost my little boy at 21 weeks and it was discovered that I had a swollen uterus, retained products and an acute infection which required 2 curettes and almost 7 weeks of antibiotics to cure - but before that was diagnosed I was also told it was my uterus contracting and shrinking back. Ask your OB to give you an ultrasound or get a second opinion. Good luck hun and sending you lots of hugs. I hope the near future brings you your much deserved baby x
