Sore 4 weeks after c section

[Babyhrh19]

Hello,

I am just looking for some advice please :)

I had an emergency c section with my daughter in March... I have been taking it easy but two days ago I lifted my little ones bath, and pulled a muscle in my stomach ( near my scar ) as the days have gone on, the bottom of my belly has swollen and I am in similar pain as I was when I was in hospital. I am 4 weeks postpartum. My scar looks fantastic, healing great, but my belly seems to have swelled again, very tender below my belly button.

I am just wondering if I need to call my GP, or have I just overdone it and set myself back, and it will start the healing process again?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I'd be worried about the internal stitches - the outside scar is only one layer. I think it's worth making an appointment. It's big surgery and you can expect to feel sore for a while, but this doesn't sound right.

Thank you eurochick, I will give the GP a call on Monday and see what they say, it seems to be more worse today and above the stitching has become quite red ...
