@Olawunmi, Thank you so much.

Olawunmi · Answer

Please under no circumstance should you apply pressure on your tummy or stitched area either by massage or lifting heavy objects. If your doc hasn't told you to massage, Pls don't massage. It's just for a while, it will soon pass. Sorry for the pain, your reward is worth it. Cheers.

Miriam · Answer

Sorry about the pain.it will go soon.

Oluwadamilola Charles · Answer

Donot seat on hot water biko. For d pains while breast feeding, its normal. Ur uterus is contracting back to d normal size. Its only more painful cos u had ur baby thru CS, its the pain of the cut on ur stomach + the fact that ur uterus is going back to its normal size ans position. For the blood, i wish u av someone who can help u massage ur body especially ur stomach. As in thorough strong massaging with hot steaming water. The blood will drip out thats another thing contributing to d pains.

Abiloye · Answer

just gave birth too, it is ur uterus thats trying to be in normal place and it is normal to feel the pain for few days but one things first let everything u take be hot, imean ur food must be warm not cold, drink warm water instead of cold water so as to heal the uterus and the pain will go in no time. That's y we are mothers. God bless us.

Omoefe Udom · Answer

Pls don't sit on hot water o! Since you didn't have normal delivery, your doctor is right, I had same experience, also gave birth through cs, my mum also confirm that it is the uterus trying to move to it normal position. My doctor gave me a drug that stopped the pain but I don't really know the name
