Do women still get cramps after they have a baby?

It is possible for women to still experience menstrual cramps after having a baby. These cramps are often referred to as postpartum cramps or uterine cramps. They are caused by the uterus contracting as it returns to its pre-pregnancy size. Postpartum cramps are typically mild and go away within a few weeks or months after giving birth. However, some women may experience more severe cramps that require medication or other treatment.
