So glad you brought this up and I really hope it gets better soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-while-nursing#post-1848107 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 20:20:31 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 1848107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: I haven't experienced that, but I missed that your little one is here! Congratulations! :happy: And to you, too @regberadaisy: ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-while-nursing#post-1848033 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 19:52:15 +0000 regberadaisy 1848033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: yup. Still there one week pp and really bad some days. While in the hospital some were as painful as mild contractions. Definitely better when I remember to take ibuprofen. </p> <p>I've heard it lasts quite a while the second time around. :(</p> <p>My nurses said to try and empty my bladder before nursing as it will make it worse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-while-nursing#post-1848014 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 19:40:03 +0000 Vegmama 1848014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used something called cramp bark to help. It wasn't bad, and really did help. Lasted about a week. Good luck with nursing. I went through many issues while starting BFing, so please wall me if you need any support. I'm happy to send resources!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-while-nursing#post-1847949 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 18:56:41 +0000 stargal 1847949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mien lasted about a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-while-nursing#post-1847933 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 18:42:16 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1847933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine lasted for about a week with K.

Hope it goes away soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-while-nursing#post-1847874 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 17:43:11 +0000 Dandelion 1847874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's worse after each pregnancy.

Stay on the Motrin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-while-nursing#post-1847692 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 15:54:05 +0000 Mamasig 1847692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine lasted about a week and was very painful at times. I've also heard with each pregnancy/delivery, the pain is more intense because the uterus has to work harder to get back in its original shape. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pain-while-nursing#post-1847672 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 15:43:52 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1847672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My little nugget is an awesome nurser. Great latch and loves to nurse. </p> <p>Starting today (1 day PP) I've noticed an intense burning/tightening pain in my abdomen. I think it's my uterus contracting. I felt it last night, but I was getting an IV pain med and Percocet. I'm on oral pain meds now. </p> <p>I'm guessing this is still uterine pain. How long can I expect this to last? Is it possible I'm not drinking enough water? </p>
