when i've had a busy day my section scar throbs (gave birth 6m ago). for this reason i've been putting off real exercise. i do walk all over with buggy but would like to join class/jog and worry it'll hurt. any tips?

Do you mean throbs painfully or throbs in an aching kind of way?

My section hurt for ages and I could barely walk far, let alone do proper exercise but if it's actually painful but I could tell once it was ok to exercise properly again.

I'd go to the GP once again and make sure it's ok to start more exercise.

My episiotomy scar (3 years ago tomorrow!) aches when I'm really tired but that's the scar tissue.

Obviously a section scar will take much longer to heal internally and it'd be better to get oit checked out if it's painful.

I am going to get mine checked at the hospital today. I had my son a year ago this sunday and mine still hurts sometimes. I will let you know what the dr says....
