Has anyone else had this?
I'm 8 weeks PP. I get this stitch like pain in my right side just under my ribs. I first noticed it when I wore E or carried him for long periods.... It would usually fade when I put him down. I went to the gym this morning and it's really sore now.... Constantly sore and sometimes sharp pain. Do you think it's because I'm just not fit? I also have had spotting on and off every few days... Not sure if that's related or normal.

Can't help you with the pain, but I spotted on and off until I was 8 weeks PP, then I had discharge until like 12 weeks. Yuck!! I had a different type of pain, but on my left side and it was random. I would call the OB if you're concerned! Maybe you're working too hard and need to take it easy since the pain lets up once you mellow out?

@Alivoo01: glad the spotting seems to be common.... yeah the pain is weird.

I had this several times PP, but mostly on my left side. I always thought it was from picking DS up or making a wrong move and my body not being used to not being pregnant anymore? I never asked my doc though because it went away on its own so I'm afraid this isn't very helpful! But you're not the only one!
ETA: for me, the pain wasn't related to spotting...

@mrsvdv: Where was your pain on your left side?? Mine was on the left and hurt on and off for about 8 weeks at random. Then, the same spot cramped up painfully twice the past month.

@Alivoo01: it was just below the ribs and really to the left. It didn't really feel like muscle pain, almost like something inside got squished when I picked DS up or lifted something heavy.. but I assumed it was just things getting back to their normal non-pregnant position..

Hmm, it could be your body slowly getting back into pp shape. I still get random pains at almost 15 months pp where it feels like things are moving back to their old position.
