is it normal for your c-section to hurt still my baby 1 week old today in my c section still hurts…

Yes it'll hurt for a while

ugh its painful sbabes101116 till@

Yes, absolutely. You just had major abdominal surgery a week ago! I was feeling good a week after my C section but still in pain. Make sure you keep up with your meds! There were times when I would think I didn't need them so I would skip a pill and would find myself in so much pain. But now, 4 weeks after my c section I'm feeling like myself again but my incision is still tender at times. I can get away with just taking ibuprofen when I need it. Take it easy☺️

thank u so much I about keep taking them cause it still hurts bad in I can't take it @jleightutt

How does your incision look? If it is that bad and your meds aren't helping, I would call your OB... It was extremely painful when I didn't take my meds but when I took them, I wasn't in pain... Certain things were very painful though... Like trying to get up from laying down in bed... It would burn so bad it would put me in tears... But I just grabbed onto her bassinet or used my husband to help sit up. Other than that, that was the only thing that was still super painful even with meds. But that's normal because you're flexing the muscles that they cut through.

yes it's normal for it to hurt mama, don't sit straight up in bed, scoot close to the edge and roll up onto your side (so you are looking off the bed) as you roll start to swing your legs over the edge and slowly push yourself up to a sitting position with your arms... always brace your incision with a pillow when coughing, sneezing, laughing... use the arms of a chair or have someone stand there to help you stand up from sitting
