I must have missed something on this being caused by breastfeeding. People
WILL blame breastfeeding for anything. Had a call from a woman today who is
7 weeks postpartum. Had normal 6 week checkup last week. Since then, has
started having intercourse again. She complains of severe pain immediately
following intercourse. No problems during intercourse. No problems during
orgasm. Gets worse if she stands up. Upon further investigation, states that
it feels like a pulling or pressure or opening up feeling, just like it did
when she was having the baby, in between pushing. Sounds like it is in the
cervix. She called her doctor and described what was going on to him. He
told her it was caused by breastfeeding. WHAT?! I don't get it. Am I just
totally stupid? I looked in all my books and in the archives and couldn't
find anything that I could link to breastfeeding. PLEASE let me know if I'm
overlooking some information that I should know about this. Thanks.
