Is it normal to have tenderness and soreness in my lower abdomen 4 months after my csection. This is my first so is this normal?

I didn’t have that. If you call your gp and discuss they will probably examine you and let you know if there are any issues with healing.

It depends on many factors really, best to speak to your GP about it.

My 1st elcs I didn't have any persistent discomfort but certain exercises would cause tenderness and I got tenderness at start of af years after. I'm only 8 days pp atm, 2nd cs and it's been a completely different experience to my 1st. Very sore and tight, my scar is much bigger and I also had tearing as I laboured too. I expect more tenderness going forward but only time will tell how different it'll be.
