It has been 3.5 weeks since my c-section. And today my today my tummy has started to hurt again. It hasn't been sore for the last 2 weeks.
It is sore on the inside, about 5cm up from where my scar is. Is this normal to start hurting again? It isn't majorly sore, but it is quite tender. |

Have you over done it? Lifted and carried your 2 year old? lifted washing or shopping e.t.c??
This can do any lifting is a no no, which i know is sooo hard when you have another child!  -------------

I may possibly have over done it....I did hang out a load of washing today, then get it in in a hurry when it started to rain.
If it is still sore in the morning, I will call my LMC. Thanks girls. |

Has your mw said anything about how your uterus is involuting (shrinking back down)?
I had 2 nasty bleeding episodes one and two weeks after having the baby and my uterus was pretty tender to palpate, and of course after the 2nd episode I was in ED and eeeeeveryone wanted to have a feel. 
But yes, do take it easy as much as you can! You only get one chance to recover. Sending you lots of love xxx ------------- Mum to two very active boys, born October 2008 and December 2010.
