Hardly any bleeding post birth and psins

Not sure if I should be concerned or if normal.
Baby is 7 days old now, and have only bled for the first 3 days, nothing since.
Last night I had awful pains in my lower right stomach. They were like strong contractions and I couldn't move for the pain. I also felt really cold and was shivering. I was woken by the pain.

This morning the pains not as bad but my whole stomach feels tender.

Birth was normal, although the placenta took some time to get out, they said they had got it all.

Breastfeeding too, although milk supply has been low since birth (not sure if it's relevant or not)

Took my temperature and was 36.3 so normal.

The lack of bleeding wouldn't worry me, but the pains would.

I'd get checked out.

Please get checked out again for retained placenta lovely, it sounds like a possibility and is worth ruling out.
