C-Section Pain

Are you off all the pain meds and getting pretty active again? It’s normal to feel the aches and pains as your body gets back into motion and your recovery goes on, especially if you’ve stopped taking drugs. Go easy but stay mobile, it gets easier.

Sometimes if I overdo it a bit I’ve noticed the pain will be a little worse the next day

It's perfectly normal to still feel pain 4wks post op it can come and go like a cold sometimes your body is still knitting together everything even tho the intial scar is pretty much healed up internally it's only just beginning to mend everything x I know it's frustrating when you feel like you have been knocked back but still take it as easy as you can when possible, if you experience any redness or discharge etc alongside the pain just get checked over to check no infection is starting to niggle away but like I said at the start 4wks post op Is more than normal to still experience pain , I'm 7mths today post emergency c section and I still get twinges after doing a lot in the day xx

Yes! I had mine on the first. Apparently around 5 weeks/after 4 weeks some recurring pain is normal. Its partially nerves reconnecting, muscle tissue healing, and those deeper layers healing. I've also noticed some of my stitches poking out a little bit when means they've mostly dissolved internally and just have small pieces left that my body is rejecting. Perfectly normal but super irritating to the skin and scar. Plus moving around a lot more since pain subsided can cause that tenderness to come back. I took 800 mg ibuprofen yesterday morning and again this morning and its helped keep it at bay again.

I was similar to this at 4 and a half weeks postpartum but it turns out I had an infection in one of my incision’s inside so as much as it’s normal for pain, please keep an eye on it
