    Hi girls I’m 4 days post op and I am just wondering if it’s normal that every time I move it feels like my incisions are going to rip open? It’s getting really uncomfortable and I’m a little worrier so just wondered if any other girls felt this? Thank you xx

    Hiya! I’ve been having a few of these feelings too! And sharp shooting pains! It’s just everything healing inside I think….maybe a sign we should be taking it easier?! I remember having those feelings with my c-sections and it was usually coz of done too much coz I wasn’t in that much pain but obvs I was internally!
    Are u doing more than u expected?! I’m more mobile than I thought I would be after reading stories on here but ive been resting up more so that I’m ok for next week! Xx

    It’s normal sweetie. I had the same, it’s just that you’re healing and you’re swollen so everything is under stress right now. I found that it helped if I put the opposite hand under each boob and moved really slowly when getting up or sitting down. Also, don’t forget to bum shuffle when getting in or out of bed, don’t try to use your arms.
    That ripping feeling went around 6/7 days post op for me. xxx

    Hi Hun, I’m 6 days post opp and this is the first morning that I’ve got up and not really felt that ripping pain, I had my strapping off yesterday and that made a big difference to that ripping feeling on the incisions x

    Thanks so much girls I feel better now! To be honest I think I have been doing too much. Been washing up and bits like that but I’m back at work Monday so really taking it easy now. Strapping is off tomorrow can’t wait for that 😀 xxx

    I’m really hoping it’s the strapping as sharp pain getting worse rather than better. Fingers crossed it goes xx
