I had an elective c section 2 weeks ago.
Incision is healing well and other than being a little sore it's progressing well.
TMI sorry to follow!
It took a week to do a bowel movement with some "help" & then same again a few days of nothing and some sachets of laxative later I went. Worst pain ever.
What I'm experiencing now is shooting pains up my bum like I've never had before, a constant strong sore bruised type feeling in my pelvic area / ovaries.
It gets worse as the day progresses and I can't barely sit down when the spasms hit.
I also can't wee properly because of the pain, I can just about slightly squeeze it out before the pain takes over and I tense straight back up.
It's all come on since I got really constipated on about day 6.
Saw my midwife today and she said it all sounds normal but if it gets too unbearable then ring triage.
Has anyone else experienced this / has any tips for some relief?
I'm religiously alternating paracetamol and ibuprofen already.
