Solid lumps post c section

Has anyone else felt solid lumps in their tummy after pregnancy/c section? My midwife felt my stomach and said it felt normal for after a c section. I pointed out where it feels hard (near my belly button on the left hand side) and she said its likely a cyst or scar tissue and that lumps and bumps are normal after a section and just to keep an eye on it and ask the doctor to check it at my 6 week check if its still there but I've not heard of anyone else having lumps like this and I'm really scared its something more sinister as everything ive read says that hard lumps that don't move are more likely to be cancer. Just hoping someone else has had anything similar to this so I can stop panicking until I can see a Dr

In the context of so soon after a c-section I expect it really is just wound healing rather than anything suspicious. Good idea to ask for a review at 6w check.

Hey did the lump go or did you get anymore info? I’m having the same atm.

@Mamato3minis hey, yeah it all seemed to go away as I healed and as my stomach went down, I think it might have been where the muscle was swollen or something but bubs is 12 weeks now and my stomach feels normal again now x
