I had that with Aricyn, and I had staples with him, so wasn't a stitching problem for me. I think because it was my first, my body was a bit freaked out because of what had happened, and it was reacting in the only way it knew - to hurt.. lol

Try rolling over to your side first, and pushing yourself up with one arm, while bracing a pillow against your scar with the other hand. And swing your legs out at the same time. Then stand up.

It only took a few days at home before I was back to normal. Don't overdo it though. Rest up.
