Recovery after c-section

How long did it take for your c-section wound/muscle to heal ect? I’m nearly 4 months PP. I fully breast feed my little girl. Today I have had some bleeding and some tenderness and sharpe twinges around my c-section area.

I had a cat 3 without any recovery issues so I was exercising at week 6 which helped speed things up and get my core working again. You should be fully healed by 6-8 weeks, whilst tenderness is normal after surgery bleeding at this later stage is not. I’d get seen because it doesn’t sound like you’ve healed properly at all xx

Mine was a Cat 2. Originally planned due to my little girl being breech for most my pregnancy. I will book in at my drs Monday for some advice. I do a lot of walking around and usual lifting ect. My recovery in general taken longer due to having tendinitis as well. x

I had a Cat 2 emergency c section. I had scabbing up till 12 weeks and after that it was healed. I still had pain around the site after. I'm nearly 8 months PP and I still get random pain that randomly comes and then goes

I had emergency c sec and I’m 15 weeks next Tuesday. My scar has not healed yet in one area an open hole, been back and forth to the hospital/doctors but my body is taking a lot longer to heal than normal. Doctors keep telling me it’s a normal occurrence but have been given some silver based dressing to help the heal wound quicker, so I would go an get checked out xx
