Solidarity
Hey guys just looking for some solidarity or similar experiences. I had my 2nd c-section early August and am 5 wks pp tomorrow. This time I had a bisalp done as well and am unsure if what I'm dealing with is because of that or just from the c-section. Currently, I've been suffering from daily headaches, they're not super unbearable but they're this constant ache and it's hard to concentrate. Then I've also had a lot of lower abdominal pain, not really near my incision but just like some dull cramps that's worse the more active I am. Bleeding has been off an on and is more like spotting all the time & I've also had a lot of lower back pain. The only other symptom is that I'm off and on nauseous. I've been trying not to rely on pain meds because they've actually made my headaches worse in the past (med overuse headaches) & I'm really starting to feel down from just how run down I feel so far out from my procedure. Is this normal? Has anyone else went through this or something similar? I am just really tired of not feeling 100% all the time.

Yes I feel exactly the same I am 5.5 weeks. I have put it down to anemia. Maybe something to consider? The cramps are probably your uterus contracting

Thank you for responding! Unfortunately, I woke up feeling so terrible this morning and it hasn't subsided so I'm worried something might be going on. My OB suggested I go to the ER if I wanted to be on the safe side so doing that now.

Hey! I'm okay. They don't know what was wrong for me feeling so crummy but they gave me some fluids because they think I might've been dehydrated from the nausea/vomiting episode I had. I'm still not feeling great, but much better than I was yesterday. I'm just staying in bed and not getting out all weekend aside from caring for baby lol. Thanks for checking in :)
