How random? Fluttering sensations? Sore? Didn't feel great, lots of pain.

Hope you feel okay, don't hesitate to call your midwife or the postnatal department.

I just don’t feel too great chest still feels like it’s being sat on and even still out of breath when I do stuff. Although I was bed ridden for 9 months due to a real bad pregnancy so I’m guessing it’s normal to feel like this my body is not used to standing and walking around maybe that’s why I feel so heavy in my chest midwife did visit yesterday and I mentioned but she didn’t seem too fussed?

id think being bed ridden for 9 months would be different from the c section. things like muscle waste etc will be having an effect

congratulation on your new baby

After my second section I had awful chest pain, really bad. No one seemed bothered at all. Every dr and nurse didn’t see it as a big deal. I was thinking all sorts. Until my community midwife came over once I came home, and said I was probably very bruised. I remember during the section the had to really press down on my tummy/chest to get the baby out, figured it was that that bruised me. Pain eased off eventually , take it easy and plenty of rest, easier said than done I know, congratulations by the way x
