A member asked:
7 wks pp from 1st c-sec how long will i feel pulling sensation around my incision and lower belly ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
For some time: You may feel these sensations for months, but less and less so over time. Even though you probably feel like something's "pulling apart" inside, that's not true. Your obstetrician will probably advise you to return to mild-moderate activity after 8 weeks, and more strenuous activity after 12 weeks. Hope that helps.
