Tightness in abdomen?

Question

I had a c section 4 weeks ago and it feels like my abdomen is so extremely right! Why is this? Is it a post pregnancy thing or specifically c section related? How do I make it better?

Answer

I’d GENTLY massage it. I haven’t experienced that and I’ve had 3. Is it painful??

Answer

I felt the tightness a lot around the incision but my insides felt loose like jello lol but I didn’t wear my belly band. But the tightness made me feel like any sudden movement was going to open me back up but it’s just healing. I would also get these random little phantom cramp like things almost like Braxton Hicks afterwards. Your body is just trying to go back to normal. If it’s painful and just too unsettling for you just check with your dr so they can reassure you. You’ll feel better knowing from them that you’re ok. Good luck.

Answer

I didn’t have a c section but I’ve had surgery and it sounds like it may just be healing properly? Your skin gets tight around a scar because it’s closing. That’s a good thing!
