Iv had 3 of them and pregnant again. All mine hurt so badly but my last one was the worst cuz I got an infection from it. I had the hot n cold chills n I was a lil red around my c-section n kinda swollen n the doctor gave me 15-20 hydros that were 5/325 n he told me if it was too bad to take 2 of them n it was safe when I was breast feeding. Call your doctor to see Irene/he could prescribe you anything of the pain.

Awww I'm sorry hun! You can vent all you want to. You gave birth to a baby! You deserve some extra lovins! =) Do you have a belly band to help keep your belly in place? There's no way I could have survived without one. I would ask for better pain meds if it's still pretty bad. But only time will heal, good luck girl! =)

You gotta get up and move around. I'm 4 weeks post and still in a little pain but it's bearable.

I've had 3 and took hard pain meds 2 times out of all three. I mainly just took extra strength tylonel for the first week then only as needed there after. You need to walk and move as much as you can but don't over do it. With my first It took almost 3 mths to feel normal but it was also an emergency after 33+ hours of labor. With my second it was scheduled an I was almost 100% in a month, and this last one I went into labor at 37 weeks and was feeling normal in less than two weeks. Everyone's different also

How long has it been since your c-section? I was sore for about a week with mine and made sure to take my pain meds every 6hrs.

What have they given you for pain - makes sure you get it regularly, even if you don't feel you need it, cause you don't want it wearing off.   You'll need it regularly for a week or so.    Are you able to get up anbd about yet?    My boy came at 529am via section and I wasn;t allowed up til 1030 next morning, it hurt, but I did feel a bit better x

Did they give you any pain meds? If so take them. Ask for help if you need it and walk around as much as possible.
