Advice

I’m 10 weeks postpartum,
We tried doing the duty (sorry don’t know how to word things in here), and right away it hurt. Like sharp sore pain.

Can this be normal after a c-section??

Yep. Very normal. You didn’t go through trauma to the area like in a vaginal delivery but your pelvic floor still endured a lot of pressure during pregnancy. There are hormonal changes, scar tissue, adhesions. Maybe look into pelvic floor PT.

Sharp pain in the c section area or vaginal area

Yup-- I second Gabi. It sounds like pelvic floor tightness. I would also recommend looking into pelvic floor PT. Otherwise that issue can longer for a long time and you'll feel like you don't know what to do. Better to get support with it early.
