Sore belly
Hi ladies - I’m almost 8 weeks post partum, but my belly is still quite sore - it feels bruised and as if someone’s punched me several times. The scar itself is fine, it doesn’t hurt or anything and there’s no sign of infection, it’s healing nicely.
Is anyone else experiencing this? :(

I'm 8 weeks postpartum and some days I have the same feeling. It's normal, after all it was a huge surgery.
I had other abdominal surgery many years ago and I remember having the same feeling for months.
Just be aware of the level of your pain. If you think it's too much go to the GP.
Thank you both 🤗 - I’ve had it checked out at the GP but just wanted to double check on here too xx
Same for me 8 weeks PP! I find a nice bath can help and a gentle massage after. Fingers crossed it will ease over the next couple of months for us!! X
I still haven’t had a bath 🤣 - for some reason I feel scared to get the scar soaked 😵💫 x
I was worried too! Just don’t use any harsh products and start with a shorter bath to build confidence. I know exactly how you feel! 😂
