Recovery C-section

Hi has anyone had a C-section feel better week 3 and then the start of week 4 feel like it’s hit worse again Just feels so tender and I’m cautious about doing things and walking again. Is this normal or potentially something wrong

I felt like this and everything was fine. You’ll be super tender inside because you’ll be bruised from all the pulling they do to get baby out you’ve had major surgery. Is your scar looking okay? You can ring triage for 6 months post partum (in my hospital anyway) might be worth a call for them to reassure you. I felt better by week 5 xx

I felt relatively okay last week and just feel like I’ve gone back two weeks and it’s more tender and sore again! Did this happen for you @Amy

Yeah it did, I’m 7 weeks post c section now and more or less feel completely healed but I still get days where I feel more tender xx

Awh amazing thank you! Happy that your are feeling almost there too!!

You’re at that sweet spot where you’ve stopped taking meds, you are getting really active again and your internal bruising is finishing healing. Keep your activity levels up and encourage movement but maybe pop a paracetamol every now and then if the discomfort is annoying.

I’m 6wk PP and I have days where I feel normal and others when I feel tender again - attributing to no pain relief and getting more active. You’re not alone!
