Stomach pains?

I've been having pains in my stomach that come and go for about a month. Sometimes it makes me nauseous and weak, sometimes I burp a lot and have heartburn. Also, I don’t go to the bathroom regularly. Once I had my baby vaginally he's 8 months now, it became more difficult to defecate.

Constipation often follows childbirth. Treat that with laxatives like miralax, dulcolax plus fiber. Pepcid or prilosec are reasonable to treat heartburn.
