Can some one tell me if they have gone or is going through the same thing trying to breast feed but when my son latches and starts drinking everything is fine no problem but then my uterus starts contracting really bad where I have to stop because the pain feels like I'm about to give birth again 😖
@jaydensmom, That surprises me! That was one of the first thing a lactation consultant told me in my breastfeeding class. Well now ya know. Just try to get yourself comfortable and as relaxed as possible. It should pass within a couple of weeks!
Thanks ladies no I did speak to a lactation consultant but they DID NOT TELL me anything like this neither did the doctor 😖😳@kaylamcclellan @kimberkatherine @mom02191987 @shiles @sutralotus @valrocks
Very normal. It hurts but you want that to happen. You'll heal faster and get back to pre pregnancy shape much faster. Try taking a Tylenol.
your doctor didn't tell you about this? do you have a lactation consultant?
Yes. It happens to me too and then you should bleed more too. It's a fun process
Breastfeeding causes uterine contractions because it sends a message to the body that the baby is no longer inside and the uterus begins to contract and shrink. Part of the process of getting back into your pre pregnancy body
I read about it. I google a lot
