C-section recovery

I had a c section exactly a month ago and every seems to be healing really well, however in the mornings when I wake up it feels like I’ve done a 1000 sit ups, I’m sore I ache then as soon as I’ve got up and moved around it goes, same for the evenings ? It also feels a little tingly stinging sometimes but not sure if that’s just underwear/clothing rubbing it 🤷‍♀️ what should I expect at this point of recovery

I’m 5 weeks on Tuesday and I find when I’ve been lying down sleeping when I stand up out of bed it all feels tight, I guess it’s just the muscles have relaxed and are tight when you stand up but I take a minute and then it’s fine. I’m still wearing my maternity clothing currently and still living in disposable underwear as normal just rubs and feels tight on my scar x

Oh this is so reassuring! This feels the same

Same here and was wondering if something is wrong. And it hurts more in the evening. I’m 6weeks postpartum

nearly 4m pp from my csection, that feeling stayed for me till about 8-9 weeks pp. It does get better, though there will still be numb spots around your lower belly and scar for a while!
