Question for those who've had C sections

I remember after my first C section that the nurses would come in once in a while and press down hard on my stomach. I think they were checking my uterus or something but it hurt like everything. Is that a normal thing they do after all C sections? I'm just mentally preparing myself and trying to remember all these little details I forgot about.

It seems like pushing on the stomach like that might open up the incision, but they should know what they're doing.
