A member asked:
I am 4 weeks postpartum from my first c-section. the site where my internal stitches hurts. its not unbearable pain but its painful. is that to be expected?

I don't regard this as unusual. Some scar tissue may be forming making the area tight. Presence of redness, swelling,drainage of pus,marked tenderness would be worrisome. If you still have concerns, notify your obstetrician.
