3 Month Postpartum Sickness - Nausea, Cramping.... Hormones? Gallbladder? HELP

Some foodborne illnesses last more than a day or two -- they can last for one to two weeks in some cases with symptoms decreasing but continuing even as they lessen. But you have no idea if that's the issue here.

Please see a doctor immediately. No matter what this turns out to be -- a simple virus, a foodborne illness, gall bladder (which can cause these same symptoms), kidney stone (yes, can have similar symptoms too) or a "hormonal sickness" (not sure what you mean by that -- "period-type" cramping doesn't mean a lot, only that you're cramping....) -- whatever it is, better to KNOW than to ask us for diagnoses online. Why the reluctance to see a doctor? If you have something like salmonella or E. coli, that can be passed to other family members as secondary infection if you have it -- you need to know if you do or don't. And if it's a stomach virus, same thing; others are at risk (especially your infant). Finding out if it's foodborne or a virus only requires a simple blood test.

Get to a doctor. You may be dehydrated after the vomiting, or your electrolytes may be thrown off, or you may be pregnant depending on exactly when you re-started your BC method after the birth (for real--Google it if you don't believe me).

There's a nasty norovirus going around.
Cramping might be worse if you're dehydrated.
Sip water, pedialyte (it comes in popsicles too), Gatorade, clear soup broth, tea, ginger ale. etc to keep your fluids up.
Keeping your fluids up is important especially when breastfeeding.
Hope you feel better soon.

I had major cramping after my first. They were born in March and I had it end of May. In June I ended up getting my gallbladder out. If the pain is worse after eating, then you need to get this checked out ASAP. After mine was taken out, the surgeon told me I should have had a lot more pain because it was almost acute.
A friend of mine had hers taken out a few years earlier. She started with cramping but it moved to major pain, dizziness and nausea. The pain can come and go, getting worse after eating.

Just to add, I do not get nauseous so that it probably why I did not have it then. When I first had the pain, it lasted a little over a day. I had visited my doc and then it went away so I ignored it. Then it came back and I made the apt with the surgeon Then it went away again. It did come back though not as bad as before. I went to another appt and we scheduled the surgery. When I was in the hospital I pumped so they would have breastmilk and I could keep it up. It was probably about 3 weeks or so between when I had the pain and when I finally got It taken out.

I don't think it's your Gallbladder or things would have been deteriorating not improving. Perhaps reflux or IBS if it's a chronic condition, but your post doesn't indicate it lasting more than the few days. I'd say possibly a food bug or a virus-either of which can take up to 7 days to recover. Try the BRAT diet and stay hydrated. If you begin to run a high fever and the symptoms return, go to the ER or make an appointment with the doc. Feel better.

I ended up getting my gall bladder taken out 3 weeks after the birth of my first baby. Pregnancy sets you up nicely for gall stones, it turns out. (Very common to have issues, the surgeon said he liked doing the surgery on women who had just had a baby, as he had plenty of space to work. :) )

My symptoms were mostly just extreme abdominal pain, but it would come and go. (There were a ton of little gall stones in there when they did the ultrasound on my gall bladder.)
I also vote to go and get this checked out. I was totally unaware that this can be a side effect of pregnancy. (They explained that when pregnant the gall (fluid that helps digest food) gets thicker, and it also does not get emptied out/fully used - a combined effect that makes it much easier to get gall stones.)
