john "Your uterus will cramp intermittently. When you breast-feed your baby, you will notice the cramping in your uterus is much stronger. This cramping is known as afterpains and it plays a crucial role in keeping you from bleeding too much, and it will help your uterus return to its prepregnancy size."
