i'm 10weeks postpartum, and realize my body is still healing. that said - i feel like my stomach is not the same. my intestines swell quite a bit and i get sharp pains in my mid to right side. it's pretty intense at times, and i feel almost faint. anybody else with symptoms like this?
I did have a lot of that probably until 7 or 8 months PP then it tapered off. The first time I thought it was a stomach virus. Then it happened two or three times a month for a while. I'd just curl in a fetal position and whimper. I had cold sweats. It was bad. The doctor did not seem concerned and it did go away. I haven't had any attacks in a long time now.
I would see your doctor though for any unusual pain.
I would get checked out. In my experience of two CS I had my first with no complications afterwards. My second CS, the on call dr who did my surgery left blood and tissue in my uterus thus giving me a staff infection where I almost died and had to have a second surgery within two weeks of delivery. I dont mean to scare you with what I've been through but Its pretty important and I would get it checked out. Its always better to be safe than sorry!
