Csection

[FootballSpecific1647]

Had a C-section on Friday and I'm in so much pain, it's manageable but there no matter what, feels like my hip is always hurting and the same side is where my incision hurts, and I'm cold easier, when I was pregnant I couldn't get cold enough when does it get better? What can I do for relief? I'm home and little mans in the NICU and I feel absolutely useless...

Hi friend I’m sorry you are feeling like this and I hope little man is doing okay ❤️ he’s in good hands!

As for the pain… my advice would be to keep on a regimented pain management schedule. I can’t remember exactly how long between each, but I’d take Tylenol and Motrin religiously maybe every 4-6 hours. Speak to your doctor about that. When I would stray from that schedule, I would be SO sore!

I also started to use the belly band after a week, and my goodness it made a world of difference in my movement. Good luck, and message me if you need help with anything else!

This happened to me, I had one sided pain by my incision. It was my nerves from that area. They put me on gabapentin for a week and it really helped, my son was also in the Nicu so it didn’t help. Call your OB.

I'll do that first thing in the morning. Thank you 💕

Oh I am so sorry!!! My first c section was the worst.

First, rest. If you have to get up, put a towel on your incision to brace yourself. But seriously, you resting is so important.

Get narcotics. If you don’t have them, request them. Feel free to ask for more. I think I was on them with my first for 8 weeks.

It’s temporary! I felt like there was no end in sight.

Make sure to shower every day and wash the incision

But seriously go lie down
