I'd check with your doctor about this. You can simply give the office a call and ask. They'll be able to ask you a few questions to help determine if this is an infection or not, but please do call :-) Hi Tania, a sharp burning pain is not normal and could be a sign of internal infection.

For some women it can take six months or more to feel completely healed. I'd wait a few more weeks to see if the pain doesn't subside, if it does not check back with your doctor. If the pain is unbearable then I'd check with your doctor immediately. Pain in your abdomen area at 8 weeks is not uncommon. For some women it can take six months or more to feel completely healed.

I didn't know that with my first c-section but I knew it with my second, so as soon as I started feeling pain I asked for more relief. I figured if the doctor would allow me to have more pain med, I was going to take it ;-) Hi Beth, Doctors are generally modest with that first dose of pain medication immediately after surgery.

I would much rather have gone "natural" but it was determined that she wasn't thriving and so it was in her best interest to be born early and by Cesarean since we weren't sure how her heart was going to take an induced labor. Your recovery timeline seems, so far, to be spot on, although the possibility of severe pain is skimmed over. Within hours afer birth I needed a strong med to help me cope with the pain, and as I mentioned, I gave birth naturally without anything to dull the pain so I consider my tolerance to be quite high. The sensations I experienced the first time I got up were very intense and painful, but thankfully passed by the 3rd day. By the 5th day, I found that I didn't even need acetominophen, as I only had minimal discomfort.
