Any runners on here post C section?
Eli is nearly 5 months. I started running again about a month ago and I’m getting scar pain. I’ve had two sections now, roughly 2.5 years apart. Anyone else had/having the same experience? I’m running around 4 miles 3 x per week. I don’t want to injure myself but don’t want to stop as really enjoying the running 😭

I run. I do around 6k 3 times per week and gym. 2 c-sections down. First one was 6.5 years ago. Second one 4 months ago. I don’t get pains and actually have started working on my tummy and abs again. Perhaps you need to slow down for a couple of weeks. Don’t stop just maybe drop a day? Give your body time to recover?
@Sarah yeah I think you’re right. Maybe I’ve gone too hard too fast

I’m not running anywhere near as much as that! But even the short runs I am doing I’m getting twinges… is it just the scar tissue stretching with the movement? Muscles getting used to it again… idk! My girl is 4 months x
