what are these pains

[jacks mum]

Hi
I think I'm posting this in the right place.

I've got a 7 month old who I'm still b/f. HAven't got a.f back yet (no complaints about that) but 3 weeks ago I got pains around my ovaries and around that area. I thought maybe that a/f was coming to visit but nothing.

For the last 3 weeks I've had niggles and pains, my lower back has been sore/achy (like when you have your period). I've been feeling sort of bloated like I did the first time around.

I just bought new maternity bras and got them fitted but already the cup size seems to small, boobs have been feeling fuller and the right one a little tender.

Thought maybe I was pg (which would be nice) but did a test today which said negative.

Did anyone else get symptoms like this when maybe getting a/f back for the 1st time?

If some one could shed some light that would be great. Thanks

hi, i also have a 7 month old & had all the similar things that you are going through but i swear i could also hear like a pulse or heartbeat, it was happening for 3 months before i got checked out my dr thought it was cancer or something so my whole body was scanned last week but luckily nothing at all was found! it is all still happening and its still freaky but I'm healthyish! my mil is a maternal nurse & was a mid wife for 30 years ans she thinks its my body trying to recover from having my Emmy!:o (And i am a a size 16-18 so she thinks it could also be weight related) sorry i probably didn't help you by dribbling so much ****!
Good luck & i hope you are OK!:)

I had af/pregnancy type symptoms on and off for a couple of months before af actually came back - I thought i was pregnant too! Can't remember exactly when that was but I think shortly after i dropped night feeds.
