Cramping pain post c-sec

Mizsoccer83

Hello ladies! I had my first baby/first c-sec on Monday, August 6 (so 17 days ago) and since then I have noticed I am having some pretty noticeable/painful cramping when I go to the bathroom. At first, I had menstrual like cramps when I was waiting to go to the bathroom for the first time post-op. I thought it was just constipation related pain. TMI-but now I get it even when I urinate-like when I relax my bladder I get these painful cramps that shoot through my pelvic region. Please tell me I am not alone here and its something "normal" like my uterus shrinking back again? I am going to call my OB tomorrow morning, but I was hoping for some peace of mind before then. TIA!
