Questions: I gave birth naturally 3 (almost 4) weeks ago... The last couple days my abdomen has been hurting... it started on the lower left... then all my abdominal muscles started hurting... now I feel like my whole body hurts, and I occasionally get a sharp pain in my uterus... I'm not sure if I just did too much a few days ago or if I should be concerned... I've not been taking as much ibuprofen... so maybe that's the issue... but it's almost like flu aches... about to take a bath, see if that helps! I just feel weak! Anyone else experience this?
@dreamermom, I really hope it's nothing I just remember her saying if your uterus hurts to press on it to go in
@ecahanes, i took a long bath and it did not seem to help at all... muscles all still ache... I've not had any odd odors or any discharges at all... spotting has actually gone down to almost nothing... so I did not think about that being an option... but I guess the symptoms certainly fit... I took some ibuprofen, to see if that helps... if not maybe I'll call the after hours nurse to see if it's something significant enough to get seen over the weekend or if they will want to wait and see me on Monday
@ecahanes, it does not hurt to press on it... it's more muscle pain... I was reading it could be from hormones and dehydration... chugged a Gatorade, and I'm going to double my water intake today and tomorrow... the past few days I've been busier, and have not made it a priority to get my water in! So I'll see if that changes anything by tomorrow... then I'll call if I'm still feeling crumby!
