i just bent down to pick up a toy my toddler threw and it was like a sharp pull right across my c/s scar. it’s been doing that a lot lately, even just carrying the baby up the stairs or getting out of bed. it’s not like the incision pain from right after, more like an internal pulling and aching feeling that never really goes away. with my first, i felt pretty good by this point, maybe some dullness but not this actual ache, like something deep inside is still torn or irritated.
baby is 12 wks pp now and i’m definitely lifting my 3yo way more than i should be i know, but what else can i do? he’s having a hard time with the new baby and just wants to be held sometimes. i told my ob at the 6 week check and she just said to watch it, but it hasn’t really gotten better. sometimes it’s like a deep soreness, sometimes a sudden sharp jab.
i kinda feel like my insides are just not quite healed from the first one, or maybe it’s the second one on top of it, idk. i write down when it happens and how bad it feels, just little notes for when i see her next. honestly i just log it in careclinic so i don’t have to remember all the details when my brain is mush from no sleep. is anyone else finding their second c/s recovery is just…
different? or is it bc i have a wild 3yo to chase and no real rest?
