Post-partum Ligament pain?

4 replies

Cavy · 03/07/2004 23:20

I had my 3rd baby (vaginally) 11 days ago. Since then, if I try to run or carry anything heavy, I get what I think are ligament pains in my uterus. I don't think I had anything like these pains after the others -- but then, my bump (& the bab himself) were much bigger this time.

Other than giving it time, taking it easy/being careful -- should I be concerned? Anything else I can/should be doing?

could be your uterus contratcing back to its usual size. think mine took about 2 weeks to stop having strong pains.

It may be your stomach muscles, they may not have returned to their normal position yet and may still be separated. Impossible, I know, with 3 littles, but all I can suggest is that you try not to run or carry anything heavy for a little longer!
