C Section

I had a c section almost 3 months ago. My wound healed really well & my stomach was starting to go down. In the last few days I've felt really bloated, my belly is sore to touch in places & has swollen up a fair bit. Has anyone experienced this? I'm thinking of going to the Dr about it if it continues. I can't lie on my belly as it's too sore. It feels almost as if there is a balloon or mass in there.

I've had 2 sections and never anything like this. Please do see the doctor or phone 111 for some advice.

Thanks for your reply. I think I'll give the surgery a call tomorrow. My Mum said it could be fluid build up. I'm just really uncomfortable.

I've had two sections too, and also never had anything like this. Do see the dr.

I've had 2 sections and not had this but I have had painful bloating since which was dietary. I was sent for an ultrasound which is a two week wait; I would ask for the same. Not sure what else to suggest apart from drink lots of water.

Thanks. Yeah I'm wondering if it is digestive or if there's something more going on. Fingers crossed I can get a Dr appointment soon!
