Hi, this maybe an arkward question too ask or answer but I was wondering if somebody could help me. My daughter is just 7 months old and since I have had her about once every 3-4 weeks I am having a really upset tummy and crippling tummy pains, other than that my bowels are fine this just comes on suddenly. Is this a normal after birth experience or have I unsettled something. I think its not like a bowel tear because then wouldn't I be like this constantly. Thank you for your advice

You may want to ask your gp about checking for gallstones. It can be common for women to develop problems with their gallbladder during pregnancy or postpartum, in part, due to changes in hormones.

You may also want to check your caffeine and dairy intake, both of which can cause stomach upset even if you have not been sensitive to either before. Dairy can stay in your system for quite some time so it can take a few weeks of cutting back to see if there is any change.
