You have nothing to lose in phoning 111 . They will advise you on what to do .

Ring 111 now - sounds like an infection that needs sorting sooner rather than later.

BigSigh2021 · 17/11/2021 21:34

Definitely call 111. Metritis? (Womb infection)

Unreasonabubble · 17/11/2021 21:35

Definitely ring 111. It does sound like an infection.

Are you home alone?

colouringindoors · 17/11/2021 21:35

Please call 111. Do you have any way of taking your temperature?

You need to be seen asap. Don't let them fob you off. Do you mean period type pains? Lower abdominal pain? Or do you mean nausea/pain in your actual stomach? It is really important when you speak to 111 that you describe your symptoms accurately so that they assess you correctly.

Could be maternal sepsis. You need to go to a&e as soon as possible.
Sorry op, don't mean to frighten you but our maternity ward has a big banner advising immediate medical attention for fever and abdominal pains during late pregnancy and after giving birth.

TheReturnoftheSmartArse · 17/11/2021 22:51

Please call 111. It could be all sorts - mastitis, a virus … - bit you really ought to report it and get help from professionals. Congratulations on your new arrival though!

Is the Health visitor still visiting you. Don't worry it's probably a tummy virus. GPs here (West Midlands) are all over worked and it's difficult to see a GP but I think it best that you tr to get an appointment.

Skysblue · 17/11/2021 23:15

Call 111.

Sounds like an infection to me.

grace1991 · 17/11/2021 23:20
