5 weeks post op

[caroandbaby]

I had a c section 5 weeks ago and still have a significant amount of pain and swelling was treated 3 weeks ago for an infection but everything cleared up fine. is this pain normal?

I'm just over 5 weeks post op and feel about 95% normal. However, I think everyone heals different, get checked out if you're worried

Everyone is different - it took me 12 weeks to get back to about 95% normal. And another 6 months to feel 100%.

If you feel like there is far too much pain then go and see your doctor.

It is normal, I was the same and had an infection too. I'm now 14 weeks pp and if I do heavy lifting I still get twinges of pain.

Take lots of rest still and take it as easy as you can, but as others have said if you get too much pain ask your health visitor or dr.

Hope you feel better soon
