urnchstephie`s poll Show results | Hide results


Other-poll poll I have been having some abdominal pains since 2 weeks PP. I am now 4 weeks PP and it hasn`t gone away. It`s a come and go thing. I thought maybe it was gas, but today it got so bad I threw up. After I threw up though I felt 100% better. What do you think is wrong with me? I also considered maybe I am blocked up, I am having 1 BM per day, but usually have more than that before I had my baby or before I was pregnant even.

Just a normal postpartum issue, it will go away
sounds like gas
sounds like you need a laxative or stool softener

Haven`t heard anything like this before, though that doesn`t mean it isn`t something normal. If it was me, I`d check with my doctor to be sure.

I think it sounds normal from remembering my post partum days. Although, it may be worth asking, but I have a reaction to the hormone released while nursing and it made me feel sick every time I nursed. It actually never went away all the way trough the 18 months I nursed! The beginning was pretty bad, couldnt eat much, headaches, etc...Only positive was I lost 45 of the 60 lbs I gained by 6 week appointment!

Best to see your Doctor, or Midwife. You don`t seem constipated, you are having 1 bm per day, which is normal. After my 1st child they left a small part of the placenta in and that was giving me problems for acouple of weeks after delivery. Goodluck, hope your Doctor can sort the problem out for you, there is nothing worse than having problems after having a baby, all you want is to enjoy your new baby.

sorry i missed the throwing up part..mommastacy might be right.

I actually think it may be your gallbladder. I have had 3 friends that have been readmitted a few weeks after delivery becuase of this. It will get worse until its removed. Something about the stress and pressure of labor and delivery aggravates the gallbladder in some women. Make an early OB appt.

I should also add that the pain/pressure is not in the area of the uterus, it`s in my upper abdomen close to the bottom of my ribs.

even with the vomiting?

It`s normal... it`s your uterus getting back to normal and everything `Adjusting` back to place :) I had this and my doctor said it was very normal :)

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
