Pain in my lower pelvis after drinking?

Question

I drank today for the first time since my childs birth.

My daughter is 4 months old.

But I am in a lot of pain in my pelvis.

Is this normal shoudl I be worried?

Answer 1

Let me start off by saying this - Shay's answer was cold and callous.  I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume this is the first time you drank since before becoming pregnant.  Congratulations on the birth of your daughter :)

If you are breast-feeding it may be related to that.  I have a relative who complained of pelvic cramps sometimes while breast-feeding.  Either way, when you are having bad pain you should see your doctor.  He/she will probably give you a pelvic exam and/or ultrasound to see what is going on, or a blood hormone test as well.  Best wishes!

Answer 2

It is not normal. You should be worried. You should have been more conscious of your health and your children's lives. It will affect them some day.

Alcohol is like poison to the liver. If you didn't know that, you shouldn't have been drinking in the first place.

Answer 3

I agree with Ninja 1; Congratulations! & for seeing your doctor & getting an ultrasound. Alcohol thins the blood & with your childs birth being so recent- I'd be concerned about internal blood vessel ruptures.  Did you have an Apesiotomy or C- section? If so- have your stiches checked as well. (One of my girlfriend's had a C-section & the surgeon accidentally put a stitch in her bladder!) Have your doctor check you for a prolapsed uterus (Sometimes due to the baby's activity in the womb) or bladder infection as well; both are things that can happen after giving birth (Since that's when your ammune system's at it lowest). My sister developed a severe bladder infection after her son was born & a yeast infection shortly after her daughter. She had to stop breast feeding while she was taking the antibiotics. However; if you're breastfeeding (which is something you should do for the first year at the very least- because it'll help raise your child's immune system) even if your pumping & not actually letting your child feed directly; you shouldn't be drinking. (I'm not trying to be mean- just truthful) Because everything you injest & drink will end up in your breast milk & then- your child. I'm unable to have children & I've watched in horror as a couple of my cousins took drugs/ drank & still breast fed their children- then they wonder why they're children are so "slow".
