nausea after c section

I had my c section on 8/6. I'm home from the hospital but I'm naseous often during the day. My appettite is low and hardly feel like eating. I haven't thrown up yet but feel like it.

  • Still pregnant with #1, but sorry you're feeling crappy :(
  • Are you taking narcotic pain meds? If you are and aren't eating much they might be to blame.

    No I'm not. Just regular motrin.

    Are you taking narcotic pain meds? If you are and aren't eating much they might be to blame.

  • I had our little one via a csection 8/6 as well. No nausea now that I'm home and a few days have passed. I'm not sure how your not taking any pain meds though as I still need them to help manage the pain. Is pain contributing to you feeling nauseous?
  • I'm not in that much pain. Ill try.

    I'm taking motrin btw and have a lot of gas. Burping and farting.
  • I also haven't had any nausea (didn't actually at all surprisingly though my spinal did wear off halfway through so apparently it just wasn't that effective this time anyway :/ ). I went off all but motrin about 72 hours after the c-section which was on 8/7. I'd give your doctor a call and check. They might be able to give you something to help if it is still normal.
  • With my first c-section I was nauseous for the first month and it took 3 months to get my appetite back. My other 2 I was very hungry and felt just fine. Sometimes it takes awhile to bounce back.

    I never took narcotics either after my spinal(that had morphine in it) wore off. Just liquid version of Motrin through my IV and 600 mg ills after.

    I felt a little queasy the first day after but I think its because of not being able to eat.. Once I was on solid foods I was fine. But I did get headaches for about a week which stunk.

    Always hold on to hope ❤
  • motrin/ibuprofen/aleve/naproxen  (all are in the same drug family) can cause stomach upset. make sure you eat a little something before you take it. Even if it's just a cracker or two. 
  • After my first csection I had severe nausea that started about 3 days after the surgery. Luckily I was still in the hospital at the time and they finally figured out that my iron had dropped significantly after surgery. I ended up having a blood transfusion and felt better immediately.
