Question

Well I'm 6 months postpartum and lately I've noticed when I stand my little guy up on my lower abdomen it hurts really bad. He is only 14 lbs so not a crazy amount of weight.. I have no insurance so I don't just wanna run to the dr so I figured I would see what you ladies think it might be?

Mijita

Did you have a c-section?

Lacy809

@mijita no I didnt

Mijita

Hmmm, I know we lose muscle tone and strength during pregnancy, and it's especially worse for some with c-sections. Only thing I can thing of is a cyst, since it hurts with pressure.

@mijita ok not to sound like a hypochondriac I know have this sharp pain radiating through my left side up my chest to my neck.. Don't have a clue what that is either

Mijita

Are you gassy? It could be gas. Although, not to scare you, is there a chance you could be pregnant? Radiating pain into shoulder is a classic sign of an ectopic pregnancy.

@mijita I shouldn't be lol we are pretty careful. And last month when I went to the dr they said I wasn't then
