Cramps while breastfeeding
If I breastfeed the baby for around 15mins or more... I get severe cramps below the stitches (may be lower abdomen)...
Cramps are severe for around 10mins and then subside... cramps are like I can't walk sit or lie down

That's normal
That's due to uterus reverting back to the prepregnant status

Hello
This is normal
It is the hormone released during breastfeeding which helps the uterus to go back to its position
So you might feel cramping pain while feeding
This may last for 1.5 months till uterus goes back to its original position.
Consult if pain is not bearable
Regards,
Dr Pooja Kolhe
