stomach pains three months after caesarean - what to do?

[ruthietoothie]

Hi,

I had a little girl by emergency caesarean 14 weeks ago. It took a fair while to recover after the opp and I had a couple of infections in the early days. Things had calmed down but in the last month pain in the stomach area has really flared up again. It started with a sharp tugging pain in the right of my stomach and now the whole area is painful and tender to the touch. My GP doesn't seem to have much advice.

They thought it might be another infection and prescribed more antibiotics. Took those for a week though and haven't improved things at all.

I had been doing light swimming and walking but have stopped all these recently. Not sure if that's wise or if perhaps light exercise would do me good..

Anyone had similar experiences / /got any advice?

Is the pain high, low? Just under ribs or right down where the scar was? Worse if there is pressure on it?
I've had 2 C sections - the healing pain can go on for ages as there are so many layers of tissue to knit together.

The pain is low - near where the scar is. It's particularly on the rhs and worse with pressure - e.g when I'm feeding. Do you think it's best just to carry on exercising then as guess must be good to do little bits to get my strength back up? Just don't want to damage things further.

Did you find anything helped with the pain? R

My pain was worse if I had done something like push the buggy, push a heavy shopping trolley.

The appendix is on the right so if you keep getting pain there don't ignore it, or if you get a fever and start to feel ill.
