15 days pp heavy feeling down below

[bundle4me]

Any advice
Had a bm this morn and was very constipated so had to push quite hard (sorry tmi) and iv now slowly walked to my sisters and iv got a very heavy feeling down below when I walk and a pain in my groin and hip and i feel very light headed when standing. Have I done to much or have I damaged my internal wound?

Are you still feeling this way since your post? If so, you'd be best off talking to your doctor. I think you may have done too much rather than damaging the wound as I think the straining would have been using a different muscle group, but I'm really not sure. Are you still on pain killers? My section was 6 days ago and I get that heaviness when walking if I let it go too long without medication, so could it have something to do with stepping down your dosage? I hope you are feeling better.

Yes iv stopped taking my painkillers as often as I was. I feel like iv gone back over my tummy is tender again and iv started bleeding again x

Given that you're feeling tender and have started bleeding again, I think it would be best to see your doctor. I know mine told me to definitely get in touch if bleeding increased after decreasing. Take care of yourself.
