I was fine for a few weeks, now I have this horrible throbbing pain. At first I thought I was getting AF, but that was about 10 days ago and nothing. Is this normal? DH and I had special cuddles last Saturday and haven't since because of the pain, but I don't know if its related to actually having sex or not. It didn't hurt at the time.
The birth wasn't too bad so I wasn't in a bad way, had a few stitches, he was posterior which did account for a lot of pain in the first wee while but not now. I just would have thought that since I stopped bleeding almost 2 weeks ago that everything would be back to 'normal'? |

Have you been discharged from the midwife yet? If not, I'd check with her, otherwise chat to your GP just to make sure things are all OK. The stitches probably make your healing time a bit longer so it could be related to that. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Where is the throbbing pain? Bella was a posterior birth (with no epidural might I add ) and have had no pain because of that. The only pain I have had was a throbbing pain in my vjayjay which felt like my pelvis was getting stretched out (hard to explain exact place of pain)I get this pain when AF is coming/arrived. It has gone now though------------- http://lilypie.com">   http://lilypie.com">

I had some pain on the right side near my leg which was from Jack as he thought the out-hole was that way lol  but this kind of goes from the top of the uterus and pulses down. Hard to explain. Kind of like being kicked up there IYKWIM! I have been discharged from the m/w but might just give her a call anyway as she said to if there was anything I was worried about. I just didn't know if it was normal or not. It's only come in the last few days which is why it has got me worried.

Could it be what they call after pains? I'm not sure as I never got them with my baby. Just a thought. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| I had the after pains for about 2-3 weeks, kind of different to those. Hmmm might have to give the m/w a call in a couple of days if it doesn't go away. |
