Not sure what is typical as this is my first child. I had a C-section 6 months ago and occasionally get pain in my uterus. It's sometimes along my scar line - but often below, and also sometimes above where it still feels a bit bruised. Its more uncomfortable than actually painful, sometimes a dull ache something a feels like a pinch. I haven't started my periods again yet. When I've tried to massage my scar it can pull a bit and I can get little sharp tugs. Appreciate its still healing, but it it normal for my uterus (or muscles just below the scar) to feel uncomfortable? I have noticed it in the last few weeks so I'm wondering if it's infected - but would an infection be a lot more obvious? From the outside the scar looks perfectly healed and I don't have any discharge or obvious signs of infection

When did you stop feeling any discomfort down there? Sex also seems to aggravate the discomfort

Maybe they're adhesions? They'd cause things to tug and pull during movement.
