RE: [ozmidwifery] afterbirth pains

[Nicole Carver]

Hi Lyn, Voltaren PR may have some impact, but the woman may not notice as I am sure after pains would still break through voltaren. A fast acting analgesic given pre feed may be more appropriate, as at other times there is no pain at all. Might be worth a chat with a pharmacist. However, I find a hot pack is quite effective in taking attention away from the pain. It may also help to know that the pains are not going to last for long, and mean that she will lose less blood due to her very effective contractions. Anyone who has these pains does have my sympathy!
