After pains..? / Period pain..?

Question

My baby is 5 weeks old. My labour and delivery was very straight forward. Bleeding was minimal and stopped a couple of weeks ago. 
Now though my having what actually really remind me of contractions.
Can you still have after pains at 5weeks.. when the bleeding has stopped..??
Or is this something else.

Answer

I got my period 4 weeks later. Ever since has been regular. Keep track of it all.

Answer

Breastfeeding also caused painful contraction pains. Supposedly breastfeeding helps your uterus shrink back faster.

Answer

My guess is that it’s PMS cramping due to the fact that you never had after birth pains until now and the postpartum bleeding stopped a couple weeks ago. I never had PMS cramps until after giving birth and now every month I have them a few days before I get my period.
