I just had my baby in Dec. 2 and all of the sudden I am having these cramps in my right upper leg that are constant. They don't go away. THis has been going on for 3 days now. Also, I have been having pain in my right side sort of right underneath my ribs. It makes me double over for a few seconds until it goes away. I just wondered if this is something the body goes through after having a baby or if this is something else I should be concerned about. I just started birth control too and i know we all see those side effects of blood clots and think it cant happen to us but ive always heard a leg cramp could possibly be a blood clot and to not rub it. That's a worse case...but any advice??
