C section

5 weeks pp from an elective c section & I've really turned a corner the past week with my mobility and ability to do normal things!! Today I have woken up and underneath my scar and around my stomach just feels so sore, no where near what it was like but I can notice it & when I sit up off the sofa it's hurting. Has anybody else had similar? Is it just my muscles building up again? I was so excited to get back to driving and working out next week but I'm worried I'm not going to be able to, is this normal?

Hey. Is the scar inflamed at all ? Mine did this so was given some antibiotics for possible infection which really helped. X

@Kate 🤞🏼🌈 it doesn't look inflamed but it does feel like something is rubbing on it as though my underwear is sitting right on it (they aren't!!)

Could mention it to your GP if your worried. I was still able to drive as I could do an emergency stop so both GP and insurance were happy. Just keep a close eye that it doesn’t become red or warm in places xx

I'm 5.5 weeks PP, and mine still hasn't healed ☹️ but my wound opened up a bit at 3 weeks and I've been on 2 different antibiotics which haven't worked... So I'm just waiting to see what antibiotics I'm allowed that will work. I've been trying to take it super easy but it still hurts a bit if I do too much. Maybe get it checked out, but if it hasn't opened and not oozing etc then hopefully all should be fine. Just take it a bit easy this week 🙂

I’m 7 weeks pp now but around 4 weeks I felt good so started to do a little more, shortly after I found my lower stomach felt bruised and sore. I took it easy the following week and all has been ok since! xx

@Rachael this is exactly how mine feels, bruised!! I have maybe got a little ahead of myself and pushed myself too hard this week 🙃

I had the same and ended up being an infection so just get it checked with gp xx

@Kate did yours feel bruised? Or was it just sore?

Yes I felt bruised and some areas felt hard to touch

Mine felt more tender yesh xx
