Post cholecystectomy pain

I had a cholecystectomy last week. Initially (days 2-4) I felt fine, not needing pain relief, but in the past couple of days, the incision near my belly button has become increasingly painful. Or the area around and below it. It feels kind of swollen all around that site, and you can feel a lump - but a bit lower down. Has anyone else experienced this? It’s making dressing very uncomfortable.

I Also look about 5 months pregnant now, whereas I didn’t last week. How long will this last?!

Oh, to add - dressings have been changed and look fine, no pus, smells or inflammation around the actual staples.
