Please has anyone had this before it felt like a trapped wind pain in the area across my c section scar but much worse to the point I was crying and writhing in pain i thought it might be gas because I do get quite bad trapped wind, usually I lay on my stomach to make the pain go away but when I turned over onto my stomach the pain got worse then the pain moved to the area above my c section scar but below my belly button the sharpness is gone but area feels bruised and tender to the touch my tummy looks bloated, I have a deep ache in my vagina area and clitoris/perineum and sort of pressure in my anus can’t go to hospital I have nobody to watch my baby, I have never experienced this pain before so unsure what it could be

If you’re in the UK ring 111 for advice.
Do you have a temperature or any oozing from the wound?

Have you emptied your bowels properly recently? The pain extending down into the vagina/anus indicates you may have trapped stool and if you've had a c section you can develop a rectocele which causes this pain at times.

I agree with ringing 111.
