I had a D&C last Thursday. Cramping and a little pain Thursday and Friday. Felt really good Sunday and Monday. Today, Tuesday, I walked a mile this morning and put in 20min on the elipse this evening, both at about 50% of normal effort. Now I am crampy and uncomfortable. Did I rush into working out? My paperwork from the hospital said back to normal activities after two days and I waited four to go back to my nomal routine. Anybody else have issues with cramping and pain this many days afterwords?

I don't know what they meant by 'normal activities' ... I was told to start 'light housework' (dusting, simple cooking and washing up for example,) after 2 days, but to wait a week before getting 'back to normal' ... and to gradually increase things in between as much as I felt able to. So yes, you probably did overdo it! But you will probably feel better again soon if you do things gently.

After my D&E- which was on a Friday, I basically relaxed until Monday- tried to go back to work on Tuesday and found it to be too much- I was very crampy that night and next day. After that it got easier. Just try to lay low for a bit longer :)
