Hello, I keep getting a dull cramp type stomach ache which makes me feel a little sick. If find I get it if I ve been sleeping on my stomach. I had a baby 8 weeks ago. I always used to sleep on my front before I was pregnant. Just wondering what this could be? Thank you

Hi,
As per your history pain may be due to:
- Constipation, another contributing factor for abdominal discomfort in the postpartum period
- High progesterone levels in a woman's body (leftover from pregnancy)
- Hemorrhoids
- Reduced physical activity after delivery
- A low-fiber diet
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
