“Lucky enough to have first born in the NICU”? Ummm what?! Anyway. Feel better.
C section
I’ve been through this before, but was lucky enough to have a newborn in the NICU the first time , so I was able to heal without straining myself. I had a csection on Monday, is it normal to feel like a stabbing pain slightly above my hip? Is this where the internal incision is? My incision doesn’t bother me at all, but I get intense pain there, which is making it difficult to walk, only on my right side, and then travels down my groin almost. I’ll get an occasional twinge on my left, but no where nearly as bad. I’m worried I’m making it worse by twisting to take care of my baby in bed

Everyone’s always worried about it, but we were SO grateful for the nurses and everyone there. Our daughter didn’t have anything wrong, just needed to stay there and grow some, so I considered it a blessing I had all the nurses help taking care of her so I was able to heal. Still had to drive an hour and a half to see her everyday, I realize that does sound bad out of context
Yes it’s normal pain. My husband had to help me roll over and get out of bed the first month or so

It’s the internal incisions. I went to my ob because of the pain and she had me press down lightly in the area, I could feel where the stitches are on the end, they had moved causing the pain. If ever in doubt, call your ob for a check. They would rather be cautious and make sure nothing else is going on

Do you know why the pain is there? I just thought it’s weird it’s no where near my incision. I found some people saying it was due to the layer of nerves being cut, but wasn’t sure
