Pain at c-section scar

So I had a c-section nearly 9 months ago now and not really had many problems. However I’ve woken up today to massive pain at my scar. It’s like a sharp but cramping pain worse than a period cramp.

Feeling spaced out

I’m wondering if anyone has experienced this? I’m 7 weeks and I feel really spaced out, like I’m high lol. I’m not sure if it’s just tiredness. I can’t remember being this tired with my first. I sleep really well but it’s like I’m exhausted!

Sick Bug?

15dpo. Officially ‘late’ - although my cycle does fluctuate anywhere from 26-32 days. Last night when I went to bed I felt like I had reflux. This morning I’ve woken up with D&V 🤢 I’ve also been congested all week so just in general feel rough. I know I should probably test but I don’t want to be let down 😩
