C section recovery

I had my second c section 3 weeks ago now and today I’ve noticed my incision feels tight on one side. When cleaning it I noticed spotting aswell. Other than this I feel fine in myself and have been back to normal day to day activities since around the 1 week mark. I’m wondering if I’ve pushed myself too hard but it’s hard not too as I’ve also got a 2 and a half year old. Anyone else had a similar experience?

I’m 11 days post op from c section and I started to feel better yesterday and I’m exactly the same with just getting back to normal, it’s hard not to! I would get in touch with your midwives to come round and have a look they are still able to x

I had the same thing with my c section where I felt fine in myself but my scar was really hurting on one side and oozing a bit. I did have an infection in the end so worth getting checked out by midwife or GP
