Like when you go to stand up ?

I know in general your stomach is trying to go down so that could be it too which is painful

I had similar when I was healing this time and the midwife told me it was the side that the surgeon has tied his stitches at and they were quite tight so causing the pulling x

Totally normal! I felt that for a few weeks! So much no one tells you. I still get weird pains after three years and the skin around my scar is still numb!

Definitely normal! It's where the stitches ended and is always tighter. Mine felt like it was ripping if I moved in a certain way but it's not

I get pulling pain on my right side where they ended the stitches 2.5 years later, that’s most likely the cause.

I’ve had exactly the same in my left side lasted about 3 weeks, my little one is now 5 weeks

Completely normal. I had pulling pains for about 2 weeks

Yeah this is normal… and lasted a few weeks for me sometimes the pain was quite bad when trying to get up out of bed… apparently it’s where they tie the end of your stitches it’s usually that side 😌 hope your recovery goes well ❤️‍🩹

I’m coming up to 7 days post C section and I’m In absolutely agony. Im struggling to wear my PP belt as it’s making my stomach pain worse - feels like it’s ripping my stomach open.

Check the stitches and look for a long one. To make my scar “neater” I had an extra long stitch across the top that pulled painfully whenever I moved. Once cut it was gone.
