Mine wasn't too bad, I was really only taking ibuprofen from the start, and stopped taking it completely at about 1 1/2 weeks pp. A few days before that I only had to take one maybe two. I think it helped to get up and move around. Slowly of course but I think it helped a lot.

Mine wasn’t bad at all. I was up moving around the next morning when they took my catheter out and didn’t even take medicine after the 3rd day probably. I mean, if I moved a certain way it would hurt sometimes but that was it.

@kierstenlindley25,

Mine was horrible for like a month in a half 😭 I couldn’t even walk up the stairs... pain meds an rest will be your best friend to be honest an that’s coming from someone who hates pills but in this instance you won’t be able to get threw without them an the hospital also gave me a thing to wrap around me to hold my stomach closer to me cuz the skin that is flabby after having a baby is hanging an tugging on your stitches so try to wear that as much as possible to stop the tugging....

My scar healed completely in 2 weeks, I started moving around and walking the next day in the hospital and I felt good a month later

Mine was painful at first but I got a braces before I left the hospital an it help the whole 6 weeks of my surgery then after that I still wore it up to 2 to 3 months to help an after that I took it off but if u don’t move around afterward it will take longer to heal an hurt but I move around so it didn’t take long to heal an have less pain

Mine was terrible. I didn't feel completely better until 4 months pp. And even then I would get a bit of pain sometimes. And til this day (almost 2 yrs) my incision area is numb.

Feel better soon 💕
