Dog jumped on stomach

I am 9 days since C-section and my brothers dog (3.5kg) got scared and jumped on my stomach (above my stitches) - the pain was sore at the time and is fine as I am sat down but when I stood up, it was very sore! Do I need to get myself checked? My stitch is absolutely fine. I am just worrying here. Can anyone reassure that they’ve had similar?

My 2 sons lean on my tummy all the time (not on purpose) even though my wound is open abit on one side I’ve had it checked multiple times (due to it being infected) and they’ve all said it looks fine but if you are worried get intouch with the midwife x

I had a fall outside (slipped on the decking in the garden) about the same amount of days PP and although it was very painful, it was fine and didn’t disrupt the healing process at all! Take it easy and if you are worried or the pain doesn’t get better I would get checked! I’m sure it will be fine though, just rest up!
