Pain

5 weeks PP that is completley normal 🥰 I’m 12 weeks PP and still have a little soreness but generally feel good now 🥰

I'm 1 week 2 days poat c section and feel so much better and doing a lot more walking. It's a process mamas. Your going to get there we had major abdominal surgery just take your time and dont over do it.

I'm 2 weeks pp and I don't really have pain unless I'm walking long distances.

@Stephanie thank you ! I see many people saying they were fine after 2 weeks so I thought maybe something was wrong with me. Lol

I can't remember exactly, but I think it should be getting better by the days. If not, you may be doing too much, and you may need to take a day off to rest. They say 6-8 weeks for healing bc you did get cut open in surgery. Hope you feel better!

You should not be trying to lift anything heavy you will slow down your recovery. It sounds like you are doing too much! I didn’t bend down or pick up anything heavier than my baby for 6-8 weeks, I’ve had no pain since about week 3. Just take it easy, you’ve had major surgery!

I was told can take upto 6 months to fully recover xxx

I honestly felt “pain” for two 1/2 months after that it was “discomfort” now 4 1/2 months later it gets irritated if I work out too hard or little feet kick it too much.

Please don’t lift heavy things! Have you had a health visitor visit where they looked at your scar? You should have a GP appointment (can’t remember if it’s 6 or 8 weeks) where your GP talks to you about recovery and contraception and all that…I would say to voice your concerns and get it looked at just in case. It’s important.

Everyone is different. For me, I didn't really stop after the c section, I was on my feet asap and moving around. I stayed on pain meds for 1-2 weeks but after week 1 I could move with basically no discomfort & a lot more ease.
