anyone else had this?
When i lay down it really hurts for the first 15 minutes or so and also when im just standing or bending over. I had my daughter 7 weeks ago by c section.
Is this normal? Should i go to the doctors?

It seems to be a known side effect see here. I should think a trip to the GP is a good idea after it's gone on this long Sad.

Congrats and I hope you're healing well apart from that.

I had this after I had my first baby. It used catch me unawares sometimes, like bending over. I remember it went on for some months. I did go to the doctor who assured me it was normal.
Hope it clears up soon, do ask your gp just to make sure all is ok.

Congratulations on your baby. Smile

Will go to the GP then just to be on the safe side
