They were horrible! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-feel-after-pains#post-911769 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 22:16:15 +0000 erwoo 911769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm... now that you mention it I did with both boys. More so with my second every time I nursed him and I had a c-section with both. It did eventually go away but mine wasn't really painful. Just like bad cramps for a few seconds here and there. I believe nursing shrinks your uterus so that's where the pain is probably coming from. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-feel-after-pains#post-911675 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 21:16:02 +0000 MrsStar 911675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did during the first week while breastfeeding. first few times it reminded me of labor pain but then it settled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-feel-after-pains#post-911646 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 20:59:59 +0000 Ra 911646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had them for the first few days but haven't had any since my milk came in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-feel-after-pains#post-911625 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 20:49:47 +0000 Pepper 911625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had them for the first week when he would nurse. I haven't had any for the past couple of days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-feel-after-pains#post-911504 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 20:03:21 +0000 MrsF 911504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would cramp when she ate (so amazing from a biological perspective, right?) probably for about a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-feel-after-pains#post-911501 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 20:00:45 +0000 MamaMoose 911501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I would cramp badly each time she ate for the first week. But after that I was good to go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-feel-after-pains#post-911496 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 19:58:45 +0000 Bookish 911496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been feeling my uterus contract pretty strongly at each feeding. Not pleasant, but at least I know she's eating well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-feel-after-pains#post-911327 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 18:05:05 +0000 tororojo 911327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I got crampy contractions when nursing, mainly the first few days postpartum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-feel-after-pains#post-911287 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 17:41:52 +0000 sarac 911287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did not, which is weird, because my uterus shrank really quickly. I hear they get worse with each child, so I'll probably be screwed next time </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-feel-after-pains#post-911153 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 15:32:11 +0000 BeachMama 911153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd get them sometimes when nursing. I also got a lot of "phantom" baby kicks....weirdest thing ever! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-feel-after-pains#post-911151 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 15:29:36 +0000 blackbird 911151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a few 30-45 min stints of them. The last one was 2-3 weeks after I had her. Not often, thankfully! I hope they're over for you soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-feel-after-pains#post-911147 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 15:25:36 +0000 swedishfish 911147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you feel after pains with your first child? I am 12 days postpartum and I had the worst after pains yesterday. I've had a few today but not as bad as yesterday. If you felt them how long did they last for you? </p>
