Issues after c section?

Question

So I am 7 months postpartum. I had to have an emergency c section. The doctor moved quickly to get my son out, had him out in just over 2 minutes. He took a much longer time closing me up obviously. I still am having A LOT of pain. My stomach and up under my ribs hurt pretty bad on a consistent bases. I also cant lay on my back or I are up in pain. 
Anyone who’s further out of an emergency c section have this issue as well? What did you doctor have to say? My doctor switched hospitals and now is too far away for me to continue to see him. My new doctor is young, very young, and doesn’t have much experience or any answers. 
Thanks!

Answer

I used to get this same burning feeling in my whole belly and incision area because I didn’t do any core strengthening. I constantly held my son all day and with my terrible posture it was so painful at the end of every day. I even had to get an ultrasound at 8 months because I couldn’t handle the pain. Try doing some stretching and exercises for your abdomen and pelvic floor to get some strength back.

You need to find a new doctor who will help you, it may be scar tissue or other issues. I have had 2 c sections (not emergency), but no pain after a few weeks. Just want to make sure there isn’t something else going on...I think some pain can be normal, but the doctor should have ways to make sure nothing else is going on

Answer

My Dr did the same thing. emergency c-section, within a few minutes of being taken into the room baby was out. 
This being said, Im 6months Postpartum, I have pain when I lift heavy things, try to workout, or move wrong while sleeping on my stomach and kind of pull/stretch the skin where the incision was. other than these I havnt had pain since just 1week postpartum.. My advise would be find another OB even just to figure out why your in so much pain still then go back to the one your with now?

Answer

You should not have pain like that this far out.
