Period like cramps 2 weeks postpartum?

I had a c section 2 weeks ago, seemed to be healing well, but I have been getting period like cramps over the last few days that have lasted hours. Is this normal? The pain is manageable but it's still painful - I've heard the uterus is contracting but the pain from this is usually in the first few days? Not sure if it's related to the C section or just a normal part of postpartum?

Anyone had experience with this?

I would get this checked out if I were you. I don't think it is normal for the uterus to still be contracting so you should seek medical advice. Hopefully nothing but better safe than sorry!
