C-sections

Intro and a ?

Hi,

I had DD#1 vaginally and up until two days before I went into labor, thought I would have DD#2 the same way. However, when I showed up in L&D, I was 4cm and baby was breech. The doctor tried to turn the baby but she wasn't responding well to it so they did a c-section.

I was healing pretty well and was discharged two days later from the hospital. I am now 2 week out and although I am not having that much pain at the site of the incision, I am having pain roughly on my lower belly.

It looks like a band of bruises across my lower stomach and hurts to the touch. I have my 2 week pp check up on Wed and will definitely as about it then, but just wondering if it is normal to be so sore there.

Re: Intro and a ?

  • I've had 2 csection sand had zero pain after 3-4 days
  • Yes I think it's normal. This time around I was very bruised. In fact, the nurses told me it was normal so I wouldn't be alarmed when I went home.

  • I was very bruised after my second... Don't remember it with my first. I think it's a normal part of the healing process.

  • Thank you for the replies, ladies.

    I am glad to hear that it is normal. I had expected to have some cramping and tenderness at the site of the incision, but the lower belly bruising completely threw me off.
