C section

[1992Mama]

Ok so I had a c-section 8 days ago and now I have a really bad cough!! It hurts my incision so bad to cough. Any way for those mamas who had a c-section how long do you bleed after and how long are your stitches in???!!! I don't wanna be in pain anymore so I can take care of my little man better

I haven't had a csection, BUT I did have a salpingectomy (my left fallopian was removed after an ectopic pregnancy ruptured to stop internal bleeding) and it hurt horribly... When you cough or sneeze hold onto a pillow tight. I was in recovery for a month :-( Good luck!

Cramping is normal? Lol I thought I was trippen about it feeling like cramps! I started using a heating pad tonight definitely helps! I had my csection Friday and they are removing the tape on Friday I didn't know they were going to remove stitches? Then again idk if I have to or if they are dissolveable lol

I had my section 13 days ago. I had a stitch which is like a long thread and at 5 days they took it out. Bleeding is on and off. I can go a couple of days with nothing then I have a moment where I fill a pad in a few minutes then nothing again for a day or two. It can last up to 6 weeks and depends on if they used suction or not during procedure (they didn't this time for me so I guess its why its going on longer - only bleed for 2 days with my first). I dont hurt at all but my tummy is still tender as the muscles repair. Exercises are helping with that. Grats ladies on your babies xx

I have staples. But they don't hurt. My stomach is pretty painful though. I have been trying to walk a lot.

Did you get staples? I have dissolvable stitches and light bleeding. My c section was last Wednesday the 10th

I had mine Monday and they are removing my staples Monday. I only have light bleeding but heavy cramps.
