It was first time for me to give a birth, and I have got great little boy. During my pregnancy, everything was ok, and he is healthy boy. Anyway, postpartum, or after I got son, I had feeling of bloated belly. I do not know if that is normal, because I do not have anyone to ask. Can you tell me if anyone had this problem with bloated belly in postpartum period?

I think it is great we have opportunity to talk to each other. I have a 6-month-old baby boy, similar as you do. I was also thinking I am the only one with this problem of postpartum bloated belly, but then I saw your post. I cannot say I am glad you also have problem, but it is good to know that is something common, what many women experienced. I do not have anyone close, my husband and I live far away of all cousins and friends, so I did not have any aunt to ask if bloated belly was normal or not. Real problem was because when I went in for my postpartum checkup, my doc did not check me to make sure everything was back in its place. He did not look if everything has back to the regular size. I guess that is why now, 6 months has gone by and my belly is still bloated, as well as my belly button. I guess we both need second opinion and one more doctor who could give us right answer. I hope everything will be ok with us and ours great boys, I will go soon to gynecologist, and I could recommend you the same, do not worry but make an appointment.
