Can someone help me understand…?

I’m 26 weeks pregnant, I’ve felt baby moving for a month or so now, and it seems entirely logical to me that how I feel the baby’s movements will change. Surely as the baby is growing and moving about in there, I will feel different sensations…? And I have! I understand there are risks but if baby is less active one...

C-section hip/groin pain

Has anyone else experienced a constant dull ache in their left hip/groin post C-section with occasional very sharp pains? I’m 16 days post C-section and paracetamol, ibuprofen and dihydrocodeine isn’t doing much pain wise. Incision all looks ok so not sure what is going on 🤷‍♀️
