I got cramps during b___stfeeding during the first 40 days after giving birth. And yes, they are as bad as labour contractions. This happens because your uterus is shrinking back to its normal size. You should ask your doctor though. four months seems a little too long for this to be happening.

Every time you nurse your body releases the hormone ocitocin which causes uterine contractions. This helps the uterus go back to it's original shape. Unfortunately it continues throughout b___stfeeding but the pain becomes less where people do not notice it anymore but it is still happening. Often women who become pregnant while b___stfeeding are told to stop because of increased uterine contractions and can cause preterm labour in some. In most cases it completely fine to do so. So just be glad the ocitocin is doing the job it is suppose to, or else our uterus' would still protrude long after we have delivered our babaies.
