c section recovery question

Mrs.RockyM

it's just about two weeks and I was starting to feel better, even cut down on my pain meds.  Now all of a sudden it's starting to get painful again.  I might have pushed myself too much yesterday, but is this normal?  I have a dr's appointment tomorrow but just wondering what's common and what isn't.

I used to notice if I did too much physically some days it would cause some pain.

its fairly normal, depending on how much pain you are feeling. Very likely if you overdid it yesterday. Also, is the pain on one side? Typically, if you favor one side more than the other, like with carrying/holding the baby, that side may take longer to heal. And the side where they started the incision, usually the right side, is likely to take longer to heal because it is the deepest point of the cut.

I was the same way.  I would feel great and feel like I could cut down on the pain meds and do more, then the next day I would feel like crap.  It could just be that you pushed yourself too much.  Talk to your doc. tomorrow about it.

I would say that is normal. I had a lot of good day with occasional bad days on and off for a month. Just when you think you're golden... it comes back again.
