Only do light chores and stick to all over exercises instead of doing abs until you get th all clear from your dr. Itprobably is just your scar tissue healing but be very careful as you don't want it to heal badly. All the best. xx

nikola212 - 174 days ago Rating: 4.5 (2 votes) first off congrats! i just had one too 5 weeks ago and i had the same thing. the dr. said it was normal, its because when they pulled the baby out they had to stretch that area and it still is a little bruised. plus it is pretty tramatic on your body, and it usually takes up to a full 12 weeks to heal. Hope that helped!
