Hi Shay30

Yep it's totally normal, it's trapped wind from the gas they use to pump up your tummy. You can relieve it by drinking peppermint tea, eating mints and chewing gum and walking around gently round the house. It will die down after a few days

thank you I’m so sore glad it’s over but didn’t think I would be this sore lol naive I know 🤣

Not naieve at all! Most people don't expect it to be a big deal either, but the reality is that it may well be small incisions but inside there is a lot of healing to be done. I had surgical tape keeping things separated whilst they healed and my mums partner decided to go full speed over every single speed bump he could 😵 it was murder lol. He was like "oh are you in pain" 🙄 this was 3 days post surgery. And people rarely warn about the trapped wind pain, I only knew in advance because I had a cesarean with my youngest and the same thing happened lol. Xxx

Oh no lol … I’ve had 2 c sections but I kinda forgot the pain but they went in there back threw the scar so maybe that’s no helping day 2 got a bath back in bed 🤣🤣this is not me pml thanks so much for getting back to me x

I’m nearly 2 weeks post lap. First 3 days were the hardest. The trapped air pain was the worst I think. Gently moving about from time to time helped. Then I had pain and tiredness for the rest of that week. This week I’m feeling much more myself but have still needed to take it easy.

We are all different in our healing and how long it takes - I hope that you feel better soon.
