Ok c-section moms I need some advice.. I have like this pain that is in my stomach/side.. And sometimes when i take a step it feels like a pulling thing.. And it hurts if I put to much pressure.. and when I lay down and try to pick my left leg up it pulls and hurts really bad. I am also have some bad gas. But the pain is higher than the scar. Any ideas?
@dang_dridri, I wear my maternity pants still for the support. and I'm currently stuck in bed cause I can't roll over its so bad
Oh dang. Mines wasn't like that. Have you looked into the C-Panty or something like it? That helped me a lot because of the support & it's more comfortable than the binder. It helps with healing as well.
@dang_dridri, it is to the point that I can lay down to feed my daughter and I can barley twist either way
Just remember you're still healing & to take it easy until about 6-8 weeks PP. You'll feel the difference over time. If it's still happening at your check up then mention it to your doctor.
Yeah. You have to heal inside & out. I started getting that pulling feeling a little late as well. It's because you're muscles are going back to normal size & you're working them out when walking. I only got it on the left size but now it's gone & I can move like normal, just can't walk too fast still. Lol
I used to feel like that. For a long time I couldn't lift my right leg up all the way. I think it's from the inside stitches. They stitch up like 5-7 layers of body tissue so maybe you are not completely healed inside and are pulling on a stitch or something.
@dang_dridri, I called him and he told me it could just be my ovaries starting to work again which is really weird to me but he is the doctor so I'm not arguing lol just not going to lay back down flat till I know I can get back up on my own
