after pains....ouch!!!

[mamamia10]

this is my second birth and I never had them with my dd
how long does this go now??? I am using mother's tincture and viburnim and mag phos homeopathic
admittedly I probably over did it but ouch!!!
not a lot of bleeding, tandem nursing, uterus is down
is this my payback for a short labor???LOL

Yes I have pains too. This is also my second and ouch some times I have to breath through the contractions. I know it's good for my uterus and body but geeze. My bleeding is also low I only have light pink bleeding and not a lot of it. I really don't think it (the pain) should last much longer.

Most of these pains have gone for me - unless we're having a particularly lengthy bfeeding session. But I'm still bleeding quite heavily and everything's still swollen and sore, even 6 days later. Once I sit, things are okay... but getting there isn't so easy. Ugh... this too shall pass.

I was ready for those suckers this time around Took 800mg of Ibuprofen around the clock for 3 days straight. It helped A TON. And they do definately get worse with each subsequent baby- after #4, I could feel them through the Ibuprofen even though they were much much less painful than with my other babies.

Lalalalalalalalala...I can't HEAR you! (imagine me with my fingers in my ears)



I am SO not looking forward to that! I remember DREADING feeding both boys those first few days, and I regretted if I was late with a dose of motrin.

I must have a sensitive uterus, however, because I still felt contractions when nursing for over a year (not painful, but a twinge low in my abdomen).

I'm hoping the RRL tea I've been drinking this time might help with that, does anyone know if that's true? Otherwise, I'll be taking my motrin and focusing on my beautiful baby to distract me

i had baby #2, also tandem nursing. afterpains were a bitch this time. i took the ibuprofen. afterpains subsided on day 3.
