Dull lower abdominal pain?  Had a baby 4 1/2 months ago.? Hi.  I will be going to my doctor soon, but I'm a worrier.  I've had a dull lower abdominal pain for about a week and a half now.  It feels like I'm getting my period (I had my period last month, no problems) or I have to go to the bathroom, but neither scenario is correct.  I pump 6-8 times a day, but the pain is more constant than just when I pump (I know your uterus contracts when you breastfeed/pump).   I gave birth 4 1/2 months ago, with no complications, and an all-clear six week follow-up.  I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this happen?  (And, yes, I have an appointment with my doctor, but it's not an "urgent" situation, so I have to wait a couple days)

Summarized question: What would cause dull lower abdominal pain 4 1/2 months after giving birth?
