Gas pocket/pain?

sweetiebird726 · September 2012

So I'm 8 days pp, and I still have a decent sized gas pocket under my right ribs that is driving me insane. Sometimes it travels up to my shoulder and makes it uncomfortable to carry/feed DS.

Anyone have any ideas for relief?? I've been walking and moving around, taking Colace for constipation, and nothing so far.

I know they're common with c sections, but I had kinda hoped it would be gone by now!

Heating pad will work wonders!

I just rode mine out. It was awful. I never had the gas issues with my first c/s but this time it was soooo bad. Hang in there.

I had the same issue at the hospital, although mine was under my shoulder blade, ant they gave me a chewable gas relief thing. It really took the edge off.
