Hi,
I was wondering if any ladies can share their post C Section recovery stories and how long it took them to stop feeling pain, walk normally, exercise, etc.
My baby has sadly passed away and I had to have a C section at 34 weeks. The surgery went well and no complications, she was our first.
I am on blood thinners as I'm overweight, I move about as much as possible, I have a tiny hole on one side of the C section scar, but was checked by nurse and she said it should heal up by itself. I am currently 5 weeks after surgery.
I can't even describe how depressed I feel for not healing as soon as I thought I will. One day I feel quite energetic, the other sluggish and uncomforable having to support my belly with my hand.
I am eating very well as I was controlling my diet during pregnancy due to gestational diabetes. I am not diabetic ( as far as I know but will have a test on 6 week app), but I feel like my healing could be quicker. I'm 33 y.o. so age doesn't help me either. I am taking omega 3 and multivitamins.
I get some stabby like pain on one side or another but it's not persistent, my scar doesn't hurt, just the insides. I feel very uncomfortable sitting straight, I can't lie on my side, always on my back due to discomfort. I tried looking up how long does inner uterus scar heals for but wasn't able to find good information about it.
Can someone please have any advice for me, I will try anything. I was quite active even during pregnancy, doing gardening etc.and now I'm more or less bound to the sofa and shuffling from one room to another.
