    I had pain and discomfort like that for about 4 weeks. I don't think I let myself cough or sneeze for 2 weeks afterwards. As long as it isn't getting worse or the incision is turning red and painful I would say its pretty normal. If you have a feeling its too much or you are having a lot of discomfort I would ask your Dr. Better safe than sorry.

    Everyone recovers differently. I think 2 weeks is pretty normal. I was able to get around pretty well by then, but still had soreness.

    Have you tried holding a pillow against your stomach when you stand up? lt also helps when coughing or sneezing.

    Also, maybe try sleeping with a body pillow if you want to sleep on your side, or maybe try sleeping in a recliner - I had to stay in the hospital 9 days with ds, and really appreciated the adjustable bed.

    Take is easy and make sure you're not overdoing anything.

    Unfortunatly it's still going to be there :( I take the pain meds like clock work for the first 2 weeks and then I wean myself off of them.  It honestly depends on how much you do.  I know with my first I got TONS of extra rest b/c he stayed in my arms :)  So I healed very quickly

    My second, I over did it b/c I had a toddler to run after, so I think it all depends on how much "rest" you give your body.  

    I hope you heal quickly!!!!

    This is pretty normal. Are you walking at all? For me, the pain lessened the more I moved around.....I would go for very short, slow walks. Don't push yourself too much but a little movement helps.
