After pains are experienced by most women, more so after subsequent pregnancies and births. For some women they are mild but for some, the afterpains can be quite painful.

They can be quite intense for the first few days after birth, especially during breast feeding. acupuncture.rhizome.net.nz/Acupressure/afterpains.aspx
