Can csect take longer to heal for diff people

Is it normal to take longer to recover from csect than what mostly mentioned as 6 weeks? I read everywhere says by 6 weeks you should recover. Im so worried im at week 5 almost 6, and i still have pain every now and then at incision and also lower abdomen/tummy. My lower tummy is also still hard? Not sure is the muscle or what I went to gynae last week and she said my incision healing well and scanned my internal looks fine. But not sure why uptil now im still having ache/pain/swelling on my right pelvic area and lower tummy. Like the muscle and ligament is still in pain

I’m a c sect mom too and I say give your body time to heal. 6 weeks is just a rough figure. Can’t expect to be exactly 6 weeks right? Your body just did a wonderful job delivering your child, don’t give it more KPI like must recovered by when. Trust your gynae’s professionalism. Get a second opinion if you’re really that worry. At the meantime, try to get enough rest and eat well.
