Should I Be Concerned About Abdominal Pain Above Scar After Lifting Heavy Stroller After Delivery?

I have had a great recovery thus far. Took my twin girls out yesterday afternoon and had to lift the double stroller into my SUV. I literally forgot that I even had surgery and just tried to pick it up. It was super heavy and I barely got it in. Last night I woke up to pains in my left abdomen above my scar and today it is noticeably bigger. Is this something I should be concerned with? I do not go back to the doctor for 11 days and am afraid it could be something serious.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your concern the great care has to be taken while lifting a heavy weight if you have surgical scar on your abdomen, this could cause incisional hernia, better avoid lifting heavy weight, hope this information helps you have good day.
