Hello I had a normal vaginal birth last week. Since then I have had a horribly painful gas and have had trouble keeping food down. My midwives said to eat smaller meals, which I have tried, but nothing is working. Is really bad gas after birth normal or is this something I should be more concerned about. Does anyone have any suggestions? Gas-X has not been working.

I would recommend to take short walks. It will get your digestive system moving again.
Birth is very hard on the body.
If it does not clear up in a few days, I would call a doctor.

I read somewhere that bad gas is normal after birth... I don't know though, with trouble keeping food down you might want to go get checked out or bring it up at a post part. visit. Or if you want to know right away, call a birthing center or your doctor. I hope you feel better soon! :(

I never heard of any bad gas after birth. Maybe you should call a doctor.

If you are not keeping food down, you need to be seen. That is not normal.
Call the office in the AM, and tell them you are coming in. NOW.
