Ugh I feel so crappy today. πI was running around really well from like 12 hours after my c section, but the pain is suddenly 10x worse and I'm having a really hard time getting around. The after birth contractions are really bad too (I didn't even notice them until a couple days ago), but now they're almost too much. I hope this is normal. My feet and ankles are both really swollen still and starting to hurt too. I just finished the pain medicine they gave me (I made it last longer than scheduled too). Not sure what will help, going to pick up some ibuprofen I guess.
I called my dr, they just said to take more ibuprofen. It's the after birth contractions that are severe. The c section incision feels about the same. To clarify, when I say I was "running around" I wasn't literally running. I have just been walking quite a bit in the hospital and sitting/standing up because I've been spending my days in the NICU. So not really laying down, or sleeping enough. Maybe I was running on adrenaline before and it caught up, but it's terrible.
