Hi i am 6 days post operation. I am getting really bad pain when getting up (feels like stretching the stitches) how would i know if this means there is something wrong. Is the pain normal? How long were fellow mums in pain for? I am struggling to get up and in and out of bed.

This is completely normal mumma. Just take it easy as much as you can. Easier said than done I know 🤦🏻♀️ mine eased a bit after a week and I felt I could move pretty well at 2 weeks with it getting sore sometimes. I slept on the sofa after mine as getting out of the bed was too painful but the sofa made it much easier. Maybe an idea until it eases slightly? We all just camped in the living room for the first few days 😂 xxx

6 days is still very very recent! Took me a good couple of weeks to be able to get up with only a little bit of pain. If you’re worried I would suggest letting your midwife know so they can take a look at the scar for you :)

Hii I hope it starts feeling better soon 🥲 just curious did they send you home with medicine and it still hurts really bad? I’m wondering for when it’s my turn..

Totally normal, it gets better over the next few weeks. Try to rest as much as you can because over doing it will cause issues and make things worse xxx
@drea hi yes i got sent home with medicine the next day after delivery
@Hannah hi thank you very much for the suggestion i will give that a go x
