Gave birth to my first 6 months ago, all went well no intervention. Managed pain on paracetamol and gas and air. I've had 3 periods since and they seem to be getting more painful, the same area/muscle that was wrenching in labour. Am I right to assume there is likely still some healing to be done where these muscles are used for periods. I mean it's the same motion isn't it as labour, but last night felt almost as bad as I remember being in labour?!
