I am 4 weeks pp and I feel very achy still, more so than last week. I have had my scar and stomach checked and they think that the pain is just where I am becoming more mobile and doing more. I have no signs of infection or swelling. I wondered if others found they ached a lot still in the 4th week, or more as they returned more to normal life?

Yeah I’m 4 weeks pp and definitely still feel achy more so in my lower region and still tender in my lower belly above my scar but I’m probably doing more than I should be 😬🫣

I am just a little over 4 weeks myself and also have started to feel “achy”. It feels as though I have done an ab workout at all times. That’s the best way to describe it! I think like you said it’s from starting to be more active. Especially because we haven’t been using these muscles for the past 4 weeks! Make sure to keep resting when you can! A heating pad is also helpful! 💛🤗

4 weeks today as well and some days are worse than others

If it keeps trending worse, I’d take a look at supplements — anemia and pain could be increasing.

Yes, I still ached in the 4th week for sure. It was all better between weeks 6-8. It will only get better!

I found this but only when I done too much x

Hiya! Firstly well done and congratulations 😊
My stomach never did hurt until around 4 weeks pp and it felt sore for a month or so. I think it’s pretty normal as you’ve had a big surgery. Still take it really easy as it’s going to take a while to heal. My midwife would tell me that I need to treat home like a hospital for the first 8 weeks. Because even if the outside looks healed, inside your stomach need to heal too. They cut through mussel ect. Take it easy 😊 easier said than done I know. Hope you feel better soon xxx

4 weeks today and im also getting aches a lot! and i also find my tummy is still quite tender at times
