C section 3 days ago

[user1468244773]

Scar looks fine, no redness etc but it's so stingy! Is that normal? It hurts inside too but I'm guessing that's internal stitches :(

Abdominal surgery upsets bowels which can cause diarrhoea. If you are concerned contact your midwife who will be able to check your scar is healthy and there is no underlying infection / complication.
You need to rest as much as possible and keep on top of your painkillers (although they could also be the reason for dodgy bowels)
Hope you feel better soon

Thank you, I feel better today poop wise.
My stomach is so sore today though, like internally.

Midwife has been and can't feel any lumps around the scar. Scar has completely healed. The pain is about an inch from the end of the scar, and above it. I have major trapped wind again too 😪

Peppermint tea and TAKING IT EASY

And stick to your painkillers!

If it makes you feel any better I had my csection two years ago and I still get a stinging sensation from that area now.

And the fear that you have popped stitches is very real and can be horrible because I was afraid that I had done that too.

Did you have an emergency csection during labour?

No it was elective xx
