Ya that happened to me but it tended to happen after I did too much. So if I just walked a little too much I would hurt more. The walking more was little just going up and down my stairs maybe twice that day and it would hurt. Make sure you are taking it slow and really taking the first two weeks to heal. I hope that helps! If you’ve already been doing that then I’m not exactly sure what it is

@emma I’m trying to take it slow I haven’t done much I’ve been getting in and down a lot to get things for my son and to go to the bathroom but other than that I stay setting

Have a look with a hand mirror. I felt that way and it turned out my stitches dissolved too early and I had to get stitched up again. It’s healing way better now. Hopefully that doesn’t happen to you, but just take a look.

I will do that thank you

Yup! Me I started doing house work a little to soon and had pain in my uterus and vagina

Similar but not horrible pain. My dr said it was because i did too much too much. Really need to literally take the full 2 weeks on minimal activities.

I started feeling good a couple days after giving birth (also natural and ripped a little) and after about a week the pain hit like a train. I was told that were so focused on baby that once our mind kind of settles a little that’s when our bodies decide it’s okay to focus on us a little bit and essentially lets the pain come through.
