Same here about the after having kids thing. I haven't stayed in bed at all though. I usually find if I move around a bit it helps. It's like, if I just lie down, it'll last longer. I suppose in my mind I think of the cramping as my body trying to expel the stuff it doesn't want, so if I keep moving and stretch them out, just as an athlete would do, it helps.

I find that when I get a bad cramp, it's usually followed up by a fairly heavy flow for a few hours.
