"i feel like the people who say that they had a painful insertion are only the ones who have either never had a baby or never had cramps. when they put mine in it was only uncomfortable, not painful. there was some minor cramping afterwards, but i am noticing that i am struggling with losing weight. after my second child i was able to drop my weight pretty well, but now after my third and having this in it is really hard and i feel like i retain a lot of water.
