I am 5mo pp (csection) & am having severe cramping. i thought it might be a period, but it has not returned. breastfeeding exclusively. suggestions?

Call you doctor: In the early days or weeks you can breastfeed and get cramping but by 5 months these subside. You need to have an evaluation to figure out why you are still cramping.
