HI All,

Well I am three weeks almost since my C section and I have a couple of q's that seem silly and I didn't know who to ask then I found this thread and I am rapt.

OK so silly question 1 -

What is normal pain to experience by this stage? I moved awkwardly a week or so ago and felt an unusual pain. There was no extra bleeding and every now and then I still get some red blood but not gushing IYKWIM. Now just underneath where my belly button is its tender and sore when poked. I have no idea if this is normal it runs right across that section of belly so have put it down to the second cut ?


Silly question 2 -

When are you allowed to have a bath and does temperature matter??? I am dying for a good long soak in a hot bath with my candles and a glass of red (this is richly deserved after the past 6 weeks) but am worried about soaking and the stitches melting or something ridiculous like that.

Silly question 3 -

how long does it take for the belly to go down? now that Nikita is out and is not with us I hate my belly and with the C-Section it looks worse because the stiched section makes more of a bulge (sorry can't explain it better)

Silly question 4 -

When do you start moving normally? I still find it painful gettig up out of bed, on and off a seat, I can't lie on my side or walk normally I feel like a little old lady

Hoping someone can shed some light
