A multiparous client 48 hours postpartum who is breast-feeding tells the nurse, "i am having a lot of cramping. this did not happen when i nursed my first baby." which would be the nurse's best response?

The nurse’s best response to a multiparous client why she is having cramps when it did not happen to her before will be: "For the moms who gave birth the first-time, cramping is usually mild or never felt at all. But after giving birth to your second (or third) child, you may experience more intense cramps especially while breastfeeding. The cramps are menstrual-like cramps that happen in the uterus. The uterus is a muscle, and every pregnancy stretches the muscle more giving pain and discomfort for 2 - 3 days because the uterus contracts. Breastfeeding stimulates the uterus to contract."
