3 weeks post partum, c section concerns
I had a c section 12/28/17. Incision still hurts and some spots bled when I took the bandage off. Some parts looked scabbed over. I move a lot due to not having help with the baby. Is it normal for it to scab over and hurt nearly 3 weeks after surgery?

A wound can take up to 6 weeks to completely heal. You can move about; it’s not a problem. Check if there is any kind of discharge from surgical site. If no, just apply ice pack 2-3 times a day. Have a protein and vitamin C rich diet. It will help in healing
