10 weeks post c-section pain

edited October 2011 in Postpartum Health
I am having abdominal pain right where my incision was. I had a period at 4 weeks post partum and bled heavy for a week, stopped and then bled heavy for a day, stopped for a day, heavy for a day, for another week. - have never had cramps, but this feels like when I was a week pp and still healing. It also hurts when I press on it, and some back pain. Anyone else have issues like this? Am I just about to start my period again? I'm confused about what's happening here. ( And a little pissed because I breastfeeding exclusivly and thought I could get away from periods a little longer)

  • I'm 7week.pp n my cut is still kinda sore... like wen my under wear rubs on it or just in general n its really red.. I have my checkup thursday
  • Have you had a period yet? I'm starting to wonder if something else is going on here. My back hurts on the left side and I can barely move now. I'm out of motrin :( can't have anything stronger because I'm a recovering addict (that was fun with the c-section btw) my dr and I talked about it and she was willing to give me drugs, but I made it on just toradol and motrin! :)
    But seriously, this hurts!
  • yeaa I just had it on the 8th... hmm yeaa u should go get checked... doesn't sound too good.. I only bf 3weeks. I have headaches daily n sum back only when I lay down .. frm epidural I think..

    I'm almost 3 weeks post partum / C-section and have only been taking 400 ibuprofren and one tylenol every 6 hours except a couple days ago only taking once a day if needed. Granted I have a high pain threshold, 10th weeks post-op I don't think it should be that bad with back pain too... I would definitely get it checked. Please, it doesn't sound good :( I hope it is ok though!!!
