16 week post section pain

Hi ladies I'm getting like a stabbing pain in this area, enough to keep me awake at night. It's about 3 inches above my scar, is this normal? I'm booked in to speak to gp next Monday however they will only give me a telephone consultation 🙄 any advice appreciated (my c section was elective due to breech baby and all went well in recovery, actually seems more sore now than in the first 10 weeks)

Sure it’s not appendicitis? That’s where your appendix is x

I’ve been getting pain on that side but right from my scar upwards. I’m only 2 weeks post section. It’s only when I try and get up in bed or off the sofa

I don't think so as its been over a week now and hasn't gotten any worse x

keep an eye on yourself. It might be strain but 4 months on and enough to stop you sleeping isn’t encouraging. Watch out for fever, nausea and appetite loss xx

thank you!

I been having the same and I'm 15 weeks pp, hasn't kept me awake though x

I'm getting the same. It's right by my scar. Like a stinging pain but it goes away. I'm 14 weeks pp. Not kept me awake or bothered too much but noticeable

I’m 14days post op and had pain in the same place, midwife said it’s where they stitched up the insides but you should go to the doctors to get it checked 🙏🏻

Avatar

Yes I had the same but on my left side. It often came on when I was lying on my back in bed

May be your ovary? Or is it too high to be that? I get pain around that area as I have an ovarian cyst x

Cyst on ovary? I had with my 1st c section so ask for an ultrasound to check

Avatar

I think it was where my ab attached to my rib! That ab right near my pain has been much tighter and weaker compared to my other one when doing rehab exercises!!! This was painful, but not as bad as a cyst bursting - that made me vomit from the pain and I slept curled up on the floor

I had this at 16 weeks pp, went to the doctors and got told it was trapped wind/ constipation (it was) they gave me lactulose and a few days later I felt fine again! Hope you get sorted quick! Xx

I got it in the exact same place, it went away eventually. It comes back every so often. Not entirely sure what it is!

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.
