Has anyone here had a postpartum uterine infection? I had babe #3 last Monday, and my recovery this time has been more challenging than with my first two. I’ve been dealing with persistent high blood pressure, which they’ve been watching, and now I’m beginning to wonder if I have an infection. My two signs are pain in my lower abdomen that isn’t going away as well as an off smell to my discharge. I haven’t had a fever which I feel like is a good sign, and is why I didn’t press to be seen sooner.

I did call our doctor’s office today and am going in tomorrow, but in the meantime I’m nervous. Has anyone here had a uterine infection without a fever? If you had one, how long did it take to clear it up?
