Excercise after C-Section

kimmark09

I have been trying to get into my old routine of excercise in the hopes of shedding some baby wieght.  I noticed when I run or uae the jumprope I can feel my incision.  It is not painful but i feel it and i'm afraid of doing damage and I stop!  Anyone else have this problem?  When will it go away?  Also It's been 11 weeks since my little one was born!

I still have some numbness around my incision and that's totally normal. I don't feel my incision necessarily, but it does feel "different" down there when I workout. 

It's totally normal to feel a lot of weirdness around your incision. For me, with my son it lasted almost a year.  Not uncomfortable at all, and no pain, just weird. If you have pain, you should call your doctor.

I felt this way for a long time also. I am not 15 weeks PP and running (short distances) at a 6.3 on the treadmill and I don't feel it at all. Sometimes when doing an ab workout I will feel 'different' like PP mentioned.

I've been doing couch-to-5k for the past couple of weeks and I feel pretty good. I don't do ab work yet because I can still feel some pain internally when I use my abs.  Around the incision itself I'm just completely numb - no pain or feeling of any kind.  I could stick needles in and feel nothing.

I feel a slight pulling when I lift something the wrong way, but not when I work out (running or swimming). The first time I went running felt strange, but now it's back to normal after a few times.

im only 7 weeks PP and I feel it.  the feeling starts out "quiet" and as it gets "Louder" i stop. I dont want to get to sore the next day.

But i did 1.5 miles on monday without stopping and wasnt sore at all in my incision just in my freaking legs!!!!
