Default Postpartum cramps

Anyone remember how long the breastfeeding cramps last?
They say they are worse each pregnancy and boy is it true. I've been miserable with them.

Oh MAN!!! I remember those! They were horrible! I don't remember them at all with Alex, but this last time was really bad for me. I went through a couple of things of Motrin! I kept Motrin by my bed and Motrin in my purse and Motrin in the living room... All over! I think mine lasted about 2 weeks or so? Maybe 3?

With my 3rd, they lasted for about 1 week.
And yes, they do get worse with each one!

I had them REAL BAD for about a week or so, and then off and on mild ones for several more weeks after that. But Jack was my 3rd c-section, so that could be why. Warm showers help!
