Muscle pain 3 months Post-Partum?

in C-sections
I had my first c-section in the middle of April. No complications, but a longer recovery than I had imagined. My muscle and incision pain had mostly gone away by 2 months PP, but within the past week I've been experiencing a lot of muscle pain. It's more soreness--like I wake up feeling as though I did 200 crunches the night before. Is it normal to have a resurgence in pain this long after the surgery?

    Yes. I still feel like this some days. If I have a rough night having to constantly get out of bed using my stomach muscles to get the baby more then normal I will be hurting the next day.

    IMO it takes a good 6 mos to recover from c/s. I also experienced discomfort for more than a year due to what ended up being excessive scar tissue. I ended up going to PT to break up the scar tissue and strengthen my ab muscles, which helped a lot.
