I had a csection 10 days ago and Im having really bad cramps they feel like contractions?

Question

dont know if this matters but Im also breastfeeding. Does anyone know what this cramping could be or why? thanks

Answer 1

This is very common. It is your uterus shrinking back into place. Breastfeeding helps this process. I felt them almost every time I breastfeed for about 4 weeks. They do get better. In a way they are a type of contraction since it is contracting your uterus. Congratulations on the little one.

Answer 2

These feelings actually are contractions. The breastfeeding is helping your body return to normal or it's pre-pregnant state. I applaud for you for breastfeeding your child. It is the best thing in the world you can do for your baby. Best wishes. The cramping won't last too long. Just know that when it is contracting it is doing your body good by helping your body get back in proper shape. Breastfeeding burns calories, too, so you will loose weight faster. By producing milk you can eat more and weigh less than someone who isn't breastfeeding. It is so wonderful to be able to nourish your child. It is touching, loving and an all around wonderful experience for the baby and the mother. Lord bless you.

Answer 3

I had two c-sections and complications with one afterward. Although my problems were with the incision (external). There is going to be slight pain, muscle spasms, and weird sensations for a long time though. Your muscles were just ripped apart to get a baby out. The pain killers can cause constipation and cramping. You may want to go to the Doctor to be sure everything is good.

Answer 4

It is just your uterus contracting. It ill probable happen more while you are breastfeeding(nursing will also help you lose the baby weight) until your uterus is babck to normal..a couple of weeks. Congradulations on the new baby:)

Answer 5

It's completely normal and common when breastfeeding. Your uterus is just trying to get back to pre-pregnancy size. Uncomfortable, yes, but necessary. Tylenol might help.

Answer 6

properly I even have 2 toddlers, they the two have been vaginally and no epi or any soreness drugs, i did no longer choose for it. My daughter would be 7 in January and my son is a million 3 hundred and sixty 5 days this previous April. My daughter replaced right into a entire exertions of seven hours, a million hour pushing, i replaced into exhausted, yet no longer something in comparison on your 33 hours. My son replaced into lots swifter. i replaced into in greater effectual shape, walked consistently for the time of being pregnant and did it the 'actual' way, i replaced into older and greater attentive to issues that ought to ensue in the being pregnant. in any case, my exertions and transport with my son replaced into 5 hours entire. My maximum suitable suggestion to you, for the time of your exertions, i be attentive to it hurts like hell, yet pass around. in the event that they have you ever in the wellness midsection mattress, pass from hip to back then opposite hip each and every 5 min, the pass of your pelvis facilitates you dilate swifter. in the event that they'll provide help to apply a birthing ball, the around motions which you do whilst sitting in this is large too. good success and congratulations!

Answer 7

Your cramping is probably your uterus getting back to normal. If you are bleeding heavily and the cramping continues-see your doctor ASAP.

Answer 8

Lactation...uterus and body have went through some very hard work. If worried, call gyne.
