Chubbyklink got a reaction from sandyb68 in Is this pain normal - one week out?
This also happened to me. I bought some compression garments, I found some postpartum baby belts that helped hold and support my tummy around that incision site. I even went back into the doc and she said that everything was normal. That was the incision where they do most of the pulling and stretching to take to stomach out. She said what I was feeling was the stitches that are pulling on those muscles and that they don't really start to hurt until you are up and moving more. She said by 5-6 weeks post op they would dissolve, or some movement I would make would "pop" the stitch. Sure enough, I was at the beach trying to clam and I felt the stitch pop. and immediately there was no more pain.
I totally get where you are coming from though, get some compression garments ( Spanx can work, they weren't tight enough where I needed them to be) and unfortunately all you can do is wait.

@Susan11803 I had it in a later post... sorry, it probably was just buried in the feed. You are a very organized person for keeping track of all this.

Chubbyklink got a reaction from Zzzombrie in 4 weeks out can I wear a spanx for stomach support!
I used a post-partum belt. It was the best thing EVER! !!I liked that I could tighten it in just the right spot.

I'm a teacher too, and I totally suggest that you go for it over spring break! It's only one year that you will be taking that kind of time close to summer. It's for your health. This is a time you need to put yourself first.
