Is Light And Irregular Periods With Back And Pelvic Pain Normal Postpartum?

My period has been randomly really light for the past couple months, whereas it was normal after having my daughter October 2013. They lasted 4 days, came right one time. I ve been having med to light back pain, light twinges of pelvic pain, light nausea and headaches that go away within the hour. Is this normal 11 months postpartum? I ve taken 3 home tests all negative. Should I get it checked out?

Hello,
Thank you for your query.
Yes you should get it checked out.

I recommend :
-an OBGYN consult
-ultrasound pelvis to check for ovarian cysts or ectopic pregnancy.
-ultrasound abdomen to check for kidney stones
-blood tests - (complete blood count, kidney function tests)
-urine analysis.

Pain is a warning sign, even if mild. A new onset of pain should be investigated. I would like to check for urinary tract infection, ovarian cysts and ectopic pregnancy.

Pls rest, drink plenty of water, don't lift anything heavier than your baby and visit your doctor right away.
If you experience severe abdominal pain with or without bleeding, go to the ER right away.
Hope this helps.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
Wish you good health
