What are these severe stomach pains

Question

I gave birth 6 days ago totally natural delivery minimal blood-loss but have woken up today with severe stomach pains it doesn't feel like the after pains ive already had they are much worse and really low down in my pubic area any ideas what this could be? My midwife is due out at some point today so will mention it to them.

Answer 1

it takes several months for your uterus to get back to pre pregnancy shape. your uterus will cramp even after the delivery just trying to expel the blood as well as to get back to it's original condition. it's normal. it also could be just muscle pains.

Answer 2

its your womb contracting down to its original size, its all fine, especiall yif you are breast feeding it will hurt alot more, so i would recommend taking some parocetamol about half hour before each feed:-) congratulations on your new baby x
