After birth pains?

[HopeJoy29]

Not sure where this fits in but has anyone had really bad stomach cramps? My little one is a week old today and ive been having alot of stomach pain. Ive heard it can happen after your second child? Xx

Yes it's worse after your second - if you're breastfeeding it strengthens the contractions more!

I had it too and was told it was worse after having second baby x

Yeah - didn't really notice these much at all with my first & they really bloody hurt with baby 2! I was breastfeeding as well and it literally felt like a contraction when she fed. Ouchie. I just took paracetamol & it eased off after a week or so x

So painful after my second. Not looking forward to them after my third.

ive heard it gets worse with each baby so ditto what celene said!

It was terrible after my second, like labour pains. It turned out I had a bit of retained placenta. It can be pretty normal to have them though.

With my daughter they were bad when I was breastfeeding. Dreading them 2nd time around!! Xx
