I was induced and had a normal vaginal delivery 2 weeks ago. No forceps etc, but was a very quick labour. I had some blood loss, apparently slightly more than the expected average but not enough to be overly concerning. A few stitches, but again, nothing too concerning or severe.
I had some after pains in the first week, especially when breastfeeding. These had resolved and for the last 4 or 5 days, I've had pretty much no discomfort. Even my stitches were beginning to feel "normal" again. Blood loss has been minimal since about day 4.
Today I have had increasing lower abdo cramps. It was on and off this morning, but tonight it's pretty constant. I also feel like I have discomfort deep inside my vagina, not where I had pain with the stitches. No red blood loss, it's more of a brown watery discharge. Some lower back ache as well.
Is it normal for these cramps to return after so many days without? I've taken paracetamol but it's not really helped. I did expect some discomfort as everything shrunk back to where it's supposed to be, but I didn't expect it to suddenly get worse!
