C-Section pain 2 weeks later

jrbcoug11 · July 2015

So I had to have a c-section (long story) there were some complications but baby and I are doing fine mostly now. So here we are 2 weeks later and I slept in the bed last night with DS for the first time. I've been sleeping in the recliner because laying flat hurt my incision and belly too much. I woke up this morning and felt like I did the day after surgery. My abdomen is so sore! Not at the incision site but mostly on the left side. I can barely get up from a seated position and it hurts to even move. Not to mention that when I do get up and move I get so light headed I want to pass out. Anyone else have these problems? And where do I sleep now??

Oh boy. I did not have those problems after either csection. Have you been in to see the doc to rule out infection?

I have had 2 c sections and yes the recovery sucks and my incision still hurts a month later. But I haven't experienced your pain. I would call your doctor. Does your doctor see you for a 2 week post op if you have a c section?

I agree with PP. I was sore for weeks after. I had searing pain on one side that felt like I was tearing something. Thankfully I did not but it took me by surprise how much recovery was involved with a csection. I would call your doctor though to make sure all is well.

I'm 6 weeks out and still feel tender, like a bruise if I push on my belly so it does take a while. What you describe may be nothing but I too agree with PP that it would be best to run it by your doc. Also, I slept propped up half sitting in bed for a good month, so don't be surprised if laying flat is still a little too much!
