cramping again?

[nursiemom]

I had moderate bleeding and moderate/severe cramping for a week, about a week and a half ago. At my OB appointment last week, my beta was 6 and my cervix was closed, and I had stopped bleeding. I still had mild cramping for a few more days, but then I stopped. Today I'm cramping again. Is that anything to worry about? With a beta of 6 the midwife said my body still thinks it's pregnant. I would tend to agree-- I've actually had more nausea and sore breasts again this week. What on earth is going on?? Help, please!!

I'm not sure. But since my m/c ended about a week ago, I've had cramping off and on with light bleeding. My midwife said it is okay as long as the bleeding is light and as long as the pain is mild.

See that's the thing, though-- I haven't had any bleeding in 5 days now, and I'm not bleeding or spotting today. The cramping isn't severe-- just uncomfortable. I was thinking of taking some of the Motrin they gave me last time I was at the ER....

Are you still nursing? Nursing helps your uterus contract. My bleeding stopped after 1 wk but I had on and off cramping and tender breasts for 8-10wks. Mostly when ds was nursing but not always.
