Pain after c-section...is it normal?

Ok ladies so I have had some unsual pain on  what feels like my right ovary/right lower abdomen and its freaking me out. I am going to see my doc tomorrow to make sure is nothing major. My incision looks fine, no swelling or redness, or linking any kind of blood so I don't know where this pain came in from all of the sudden. I have not lifted anything heavy or leaned over to grabbed anything. I have been coming down the stairs once per day as instructed by my ob as part of my exercise. I am going there first thing tomorrow to get checked out. My mom was feeling my belly and she seems to think the right side is swollen and feels hard, perhaps some sort of muscle contraction....

I don't know what to think and I am wondering if any of you who have had a c-section have experience this? I'm taking ibuprofen 600mg to ease the pain and it seems to help. My c-section was two weeks ago exactly today so I'm really freaking out. I really hope is nothing major...the pain is not consistent and it sort of comes and go, especially when I sit for a long period of time.

I swear having a c-section is quite annoying,...I haven't even been able to really enjoy my baby cuz I feel so uncomfortable. Thank Goodness my Dh has been home helping change diapers and picking things up. This really suckssssssssssss =(

Don't beat me up, but I have had very little pain since my c-section...when I got home from the hospital, I think I only took pain meds about four times...

Feel better ladies!!
