Im worrying (albeit only a little bit) people, please help!
Had an ELCS 3 weeks ago, no problems that I know of, however recently I seem to be going backwards WRT healing and wondered if its normal?
eg. I had burning type sensations 'inside' which I assume is all the internal bits and bobs healing, this seemed to fade away by about week 2 but its come back again on one side, I think I might have pulled my stitches but is it possible Ive burst some internally? Surely Id be in agony?
I stopped bleeding by about week 2, it faded to a really pale browny colour but now its come back bright red, not loads but enough for me to wonder if its normalfor it to go and then come back (cant remember if it did with DS1)
Ive only been out a couple of times just for a bit of a walk around the shops for about half an hour a time, no problems up to now but today I was getting the most intense pain inside but very low down, felt like a cross between wind and my fanny falling out , at one point I was nearly dragging my crotch on the floor of Asda
My skin on the outside is still numb, but painful to touch if that makes sense? No it doesnt, what I mean is half of the skin near the outside wound feels numb, and the other half feels very sore to touch. I appreciate my skin has been cut open so its probably the nerves but has anyone else had this? It just doesnt feel like it should still be this sore on the outside.
Finally, just in general as I say things seem to be going backwards, just when I thought I was able to pull myself up in bed etc my stomach muscles wither away again and Im back to just feeling generally 'slow' to move around.
I should say I feel fine in myself, no temperature, stomach isnt swollen anywhere but not having had a section before, and no real knowledge of what to expect, Im just wondering if all of this is normal?
I might not get a chance to reply tonight as DS2 is a demanding cluster feeder at night (nice) but any advice or experiences would be very appreciated just to either put my mind at rest or make me speak to the Docs to check all is ok
