Stomach Feeling Full And Bloated After Child Birth. Worried About Pregnancy
I had a c section with my daughter 4 months ago. Since she was unplanned I am constantly scared of getting pregnant again. I am on birth control and we are more than careful but my stomach has been feeling full and it bloats from time to time so I don't know what to think. I also had a shorter period which I remember happens with birth control. I just didn't know if I should see a obgyn or not

Hello,
If your periods are regular and if you have not missed one it is less likely that you could be pregnant.
But if you are not sure you can go for a HPT.
If you are breastfeeding your baby, i hope your are not using combined contraceptive pills as these can be harmful for the baby, it is advisable to use only POPills till you are breastfeeding your baby.
The bloating of stomach need not be related to pregnancy only.
Don't worry,take care.
