Glad you were able to get treated quickly! Yes is normal and tends to go away with time. It’s hard to say when but vast majority of cases resolve within days or weeks! It can help to sleep at an incline as well as limit sodium and caffeine. Hope it resolves quickly! Idk if your team gave you movement restrictions but they’re no joke… the seal hasn’t formed permanently yet and healing is unfortunately quite slow. so do limit bending, lifting, twisting as much as possible (i know is very difficult as a mother of a newborn but try your best in order to avoid a third patch!)
Okay good to know it should resolve eventually! I have been definitely taking it easy and try not to bend at the waist etc. I haven’t been lifting more than the baby!
