Hi @cutiepie, and welcome. Intense abdominal pain is always a bit nerve wracking, especially if it's a pain you've never experienced before.

According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, bowel problems and gas are fairly normal during the postpartum phase. https://www.acog.org/womens-health/faqs/postpartum-pain-management

Have you mentioned these pains to your doctor?

Thanks for your support, @klp. Is there anything else I could do? I am not handling the pain and I feel like it interferes with caring for my baby.
