Is it normal for the pain to get worse on day two after a CS?

I had my emergency CS at midnight on Sunday/Monday. Felt Ok to get out of bed about ten ish the next morning. It hurt but I was Ok. In the afternoon I felt Ok to walk a bit, it was only hurting when I moved, and then only when I went from flat to sitting or sitting to standing.

So, all fine. Then last night my stomach started to hurt all the time and hurt much more if I moved at all, like, if I bend my leg or shift a little I get pain.

The pain is making me shake and there's no way I could walk now like I was yesterday.. It isn't comfortable to stand or sit even. I am having to work up the courage to make the tiniest movement.

I have a tendency to not express my pain very well to medical staff, so they don't seem worried (I was at ten cm dilated before anyone checked me because I kept saying it hurt in too polite a manner before.
But I thought it was meant to all get better, not worse as time passed?
Do I need to shout about it or have I completely misunderstood recovery and this is just what happens?
I am having cocodamol every 6 hours or so.

I might be being a complete baby, but I just thought it was going to get better! I don't know if something is wrong.

Hello, I feel much better thanks Petite. :)

Things definitely improved once they took the drain out, on Wednesday- they said it was probably getting displaced and that must have been hurting. You know, I feel probably back to how I felt on day one again now actually!

Baby is doing well too!

No news on that yet. I think I am probably fit to go but they're letting me hang about while DS is here.
