I didn't want to read and run, hun. I don't have an answer. I did have a c-section 3 months ago, but never had the pain you are describing. Not sure if it is normal or not. Maybe something you need to talk to your doctor about. Hope it gets better for you.

thanks hun.
I did mention it when it first started hurting soon after i was home and was told that its all my muscles fusing back together? But it went adn then now its really hurting every time i walk!

Mine felt tight for quite a few weeks after Joe was born and the MW said it was everything going back into the right place. I can't remember when it stopped feeling like this, but now at 4 months I can't feel a thing.
If you're worried, I'd definitely ask the HV or your doctor, I'm sure they can check the scar to make sure everything is ok x

I had this!!i am now 5 weeks on and the only pain I have is achey muscle type pain around the scar.i too was also told its everything going back etc and no-one seemed worried.it did take a couple of weeks to fully get over it though!!
Keep an eye on it hun and if its not feeling like its getting any better in a week then I would go to docs just to be certain.

hm ive not really had that much bad pain on my scar, sometimes i feel aching pain for about 5 mins on the end of it, either end, but i was told its the internal stitches dissolving. if its really sever i would speak to your GP.x

I have this just now. But mw looked at it today and said all looks well anc clean and healing ok. Yet theres one part of the scar that stings like mad. I did go a walk yday and today, so am putting it down to havin done to much.

hmm.. im not sure tbh, I get pains i my stomach too.. above belly button on the sides sometimes, but its not that sore, wouldnt take a pain killer... if its really sore id get it checked just to be sure x

I have the exact pain you are describing, feels incredibly sore and stingy, feels like really strong bee stings.

I asked the doc today and he said its a mixture of my uterus contracting and the internal stitches keeping together the muscles. Whatever it is i hope it goes soon!
