I have an appointment Wednesday. My first csection week 2 and 3 the pain def was going away and not increasing. Week 4 I could go outside for a stroll but currently it hurts way too much just to walk a couple feet and to stand for 5 minutes 😭 Completely different experience than my first csection and I hate it. Only relief I get from the pain is sitting down or laying down.
Sometimes increased pain can be a sign of an infection even if the site looks ok. I had increased pain and it was infected lots of hardened skin underneath that I didn't know about. I hope this doesn't happen for you but better to check!
@Stephanie thank you. I hope not 😥 But would be nice to have answers for the pain.
I would definitely call your doctor. I’m 4 weeks post c section and I have no pain at all and I really didn’t have pain around 2 weeks though everyone is different. I still don’t think the pain should be increasing at all. Make sure your taking it easy not lifting anything heavier than your baby and get as much rest as possible
