Mothers will have signs of uterine contractions before giving birth. However, in addition to indicating that delivery is imminent, some mothers will also experience uterine contractions after giving birth, especially after a cesarean section. Mothers will have uterine contractions, resulting in abdominal pain after a cesarean section. The abdominal pain caused by uterine contraction after cesarean section is actually a sign of uterine recovery. This can help stop bleeding in the uterus, expel residual blood clots in the uterus, and promote uterine recovery.

For first-time mothers, the postpartum pain is less obvious because the uterine muscles are stronger and can contract continuously.

They must contract intermittently and forcefully.

If the postpartum recovery is not good, there will be some abdominal pain symptoms.
