I'm Currently Feeling:  | Your uterus continues to contract back down to its normal size after you've given birth, and that can cause period like cramps. If you're worried you could ask your midwife about it, but I'm sure it's perfectly normal - I used to get them too, and used to feel like I was still being kicked inside! x |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | As its your third baby it has to work a lot harder to get down to normal size, plus if your breast feeding that can increase the cramps. I would think its completely normal  | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | Yes, it's definitely your uterus contracting back to shape. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | It is completely normal. After i had my second i had to go back to hospital for pain relief as it felt like i was still having contractions even afteri'd given birth. They will settle down as your uterus gets back to normal. *hugs* |
