Swollen and tender belly side and hips post op?!?!?

Hey girls day 3 postt op and my belly side and right hip are unbelievably swollen and tender almost like its bruised with no actually bruise showing? Is this normal? Phoned the nurse at hospital and they said they’ll need to see me to check as doesn’t sound right but cant see me till thursday! So panicing now big time! Anyone else had the same?! x

Oh dear! If you’re not happy waiting till then I’d call back and say how worried you are – they can’t be too worried though if theyre happy to wait until thurs xx

Well she just kept saying its probably wind (sorry) but it doesnt feel bad inside like wind just very tender to touch, looking about 6 months pregnant too! x

I do remember after one of my c-sections having really bad wind and it is absolute agony! You would never believe wind could be so bad! Try peppermint tea and if it is wind it should help xx

Hello hunni bunni I’m 4 days post op today I’m sooo swollen it’s the smallest it has been today, I feel less tender than I have done try not worry we will be fine my bum and thighs hips back basically my torso were tender to touch but today i do feel better hun if that helps xxx

The best way I can describe swelling is like after section funnily enough, hope it is wind and goes soon! x

Aww dreamsdocometru bless you! In the same boat then! Was like it yesterday then woke up this morning and it has eased, giving me false sense of security! Now it is back with a vengance! Hope I feel better like you day 4! x

hello my lovley how are you today? im regaining a waist line lol get my tuba grip off tomoz xx

Hey hun, I’m about 7 days post op and the last few days my stomach was huge (looked about 6 months pregnant) but I hadn’t been to the loo and was getting stomach cramps so took some laxatives and felt ok, apart from yesterday which I got really bad back ache ( but I think this is due to the bra being small) I think it could be just wind hun. But best to get it checked out. I have pain in my ribs too and my scars are sore but again I think it’s cos my bra is too tight. Hope you feel better soon x

Hey girls! Feeling and looking alot less swollen today. Still tender to touch but I suppose we don’t really know how much poking and proding they have to do to make a pocket under the muscle! Can’t imagine it’s too easy! Thanks for being there tho, nice to know there’s others going through the same thing! Glad you’re feeling better today dreams, be lovely for you to be free tomorrow! And Vic do you think bad back is from sleeping upright? I’m finding that a mission! Ditched the pillows last night and swapped it for a dolled up quilt and that helped! x
