Hematoma after c section recovery advice needed

Has anyone had a hematoma after c section? How long did it take to go away, and any advice for a good recovery? Had mine 7 weeks now, it seems to go down but at 5 weeks I'd stressed it and it swelled up so delayed my recovery, now I'm worried to do anything like carrying baby car seat in case I stress it again :(

I did but it was while I was stil in hospital and even just bending over would cause blood to come out. In the end I had to have surgery to clear it. I still then did too much and my wound kept leaking. I would go and get yours checked out again.

Mine isn't leaking and been to the gp several times now to get it checked. Every time they say the wound looks good and to give it more time. Last time they gave me antibiotics to take even thou they didn't think there was an infection, I took them anyway because otherwise they will keep saying its all fine. I don't really know what to do now, just keep going gp? Yesterday I wore something slightly too tight and today it feels achy again :( tired and frustrated of this dragging out my recovery
