Stomach pains after baby born

Well I have been having stomach pains after I had my baby boy. Went to the ob/gyn doctor for my 6week checkup and I had a little knot. My doctor told me that my body trying to shift itself back in place. However, its been 3months and now its the size of a pint of ice cream. So now it has start to bother me more. I went to my pcp and he told me that I have a hernia. I was like WHAT??? I could not believe this and he has recommemended that I got to a suregon to have it removed.

Wow! You must have a big baby boy to have that hernia.

I'm so sorry t hear that you are not feeling top notch.  If you feel you need a second opinion then def. seek that out.  Otherwise a surgeon could confirm or deny that diagnosis.  I'm' hoping others will post if they hace been through similar things.

Let us know how you are doing,

I had my baby on August 15, 2012, and is now home and is having stomach pain.  After giving birth I had really bad cramps which turned out to be blood clots....which was far more painful than labor pain.  They went in and took out the clots but I am still having cramps.  My doc. did mentioned that I may possibly have a hernia during my pregnancy, so after reading this post I need to get this checked out.

I am so gld that this post hit home for you and that you are going in to get checked out.  Having a history of havin had a blood clot is the biggest risk factor for having a second one. So DO NOT hesitate to go in!

Also wante to check in 11 and see how you are doing.  Please keep us posted!

I'm so glad you went and got a second opinion on your stomach pain! It always pays to listen to your intuition when you continue to have issues. Hernias are certainly not a common occurrence after every baby but they do happen to people. I'm sorry you have to deal with this - no fun! McJane77-hope that you get some answers for your continued cramping! Let us know how you are doing.

Okay, so I did make an appointment to see the surgeon. My appointment is this Wednesday 8/29/12. I really can not wait to see him. This pain is so bothersome and makes me moody. So I will see what he sayys and let you guys know. I really thank everyone of you for your concerns, suggestions, and for any other person that Is going through anything similar to this. I will have my fingers crossed.
