I'm about 5 weeks pp and the past few days I've been feeling a lot worse. The bleeding stopped over a week ago and today I had a small amount of bright red again. I just don't feel right but I called the OB and he said that everything sounds normal, just that I might be overexerting myself. I feel like I've been taking it really easy. Ugh, I just can't wait to feel normal again! Anybody else getting that stretching burning thing inside on one side? Or recurring bleeding?
Re: How is your c-section healing?
Even as recently as last week, six weeks postpartum, I was still in pain from my C-section. This week I have noticed a significant improvement. I talked to my OB, and he said everything looks good; I am just a slow healer. I'm on blood thinners, so that could also be contributing to slow healing.
My incision still feels weird to the touch and is totally numb in the entire area. I hate it. But it might be numb for awhile, so I'm trying to get used to it.

A few days ago I was in more pain again... and something above my incision was hard and poking out a bit. I went to a walk in clinic because it scared me a bit this far into recovery. The dr said it's my uterus and it's normal. I have had to up my ibuprofen and am taking it really easy again... frustrating as I have been so careful. I had no idea c-section recovery would be so painful!
Bleeding has finally stopped, just a little bit of spotting still...
