Exercise After Cesarean

Yes, I get that way too...I think it's just the scar tissue stretching out...it isn't as flexible as normal tissue. Just be careful and don't overdo it.

Hi! Your body still has a lot of scar tissue from the surgery and the muscle fibers are also going to be a bit "wonky". Your body is probably getting used to moving again and will probably feel cramped from time to time. The scar tissue and muscle fibers are "waking up". If it doesn't get better or gets worse, call your doctor. Start off slow and then build from there.

Hope this helps!

Unfortunately yes. I think I know exactly how you feel. My doctor discovered that my uterus had attached itself to my abdomen wall and my bladder. I had to have surgery. He was only able to detach some areas; he was too concerned about nicking my bladder to do the whole thing. I will say after the surgery, I never felt the cramps again and I even had a third baby (c-section again).

i have weird sensations at that spot all the time...just watch it and make sure you didnt tear or sprain anything. i have 'aggrivated' my scar area before.

it has been 4 years for me and I still get that too. My doctor said it is just the scar tissue.

It sounds like you might have adhesions, scar tissue that form as a result of surgery. Adhesions are common after a C. You can think of it like old fashioned darning, messily done.
Message (for scar mobilization) is very useful for releasing adhesions.
You can message across your scar from the middle outward, or hold down one end and stroke along the length of the scar. You can also roll your finger tips up and down across the scar too. Use enough pressure to feel just a bit of stress on the tissue.
If this doesn't help, try deep lower abdominal message by a therapist who is trained in post pregnancy techniques, to release adhesions that might have formed around your uterus and/or intestines.
