Okay, so I'm nearly 13 weeks out from having a c-section. My recovery was rushed since the boys came home three weeks after the baby was born. I was definitely doing stuff that I shouldn't have been doing (like picking up 30+ lb kids). But, I healed well with no problems.
In the last few weeks I've been having pain. Some pain has been at the incision site, some has been in my lower abdomen, but the majority of it has been in my hips. My hips and pelvis seem to really ache sometimes.
So, I'm just wondering if anyone who reads this who has had a c-section has had pain like I'm describing. It's not horrible pain - more annoying than anything else. I hate to make a doctor's appointment to learn that this is "normal."
Thanks in advance for any feedback.

No idea but I hope it goes away so you can be pain free to enjoy your boys.
Part of it may just be your hips/pelvis going back to where they're supposed to be.
Is there a nurse line you can call?
Juli,
I don't know either but if it makes you feel better, if it were me, I'd make an appointment. 13 weeks post surgery seems like it should be enough time to heal and it seems weird that it's worse now than it was. So I don't think you're crazy for thinking you need to go to the doctor.
Go Doctor.
hmmm, I had two c-sections-the first was easy recovery but I noticed even two years later annyoying little pulls and aches. Second time around I got an infection in my incision-i waited over a week to go in and I spent nearly two weeks umoving in the hospital-I would honestly go because you just don't know...is the incision site red or sore and your pain in your abdomen-does it feel hard or hot to the touch? This is what my symptoms were...praying for you that it is nothing at all to worry about-hopefully just tired from probably overdoing it lol!!! blessings on your beautiful family!

U know I had some crazy pain! I honestly felt like it took a year for my body to get back to normal. I had all kinds of weird stuff going on with my scar and when I finally saw the top specialis he said "YOU NEED LOSE WAIT!" just what any knew mom wants to hear right? So on the one hand its going to take you a WHILE to bounce back but on the other hand - when in doubt check it out! Don't try and be a touph guy...cuz your not! and now you have half a half dozen kids depending on you so you cant take any chances.

I had 3 c sections, the last one was 5 years ago. I still have weird sharp pains and aches. The hip thing hurt at times after I had my babies. I think it is because your body changes so much and they are moving back. It helps to exercise and stretch. You should call the doctor though if it bugs you!
YUP. I have this too. No idea what it is.
