C-Section Scars

Posted on 05/04/08, 06:34 am

Do any of you still feel pain or discomfort at the site of your scar? From time to time I still feel something there (not sure how to describe it). I've also noticed some itching...anything to get rid of that?

  Now granted I've had 3 c-sections, but with each one about an inch around the entire scar I'm completely numb! They doc said that if I didn't have any feeling within a year then I probably wouldn't regain feeling. It's weird to be completely numb. So I don't have any pain/discomfort. That stinks that you still have pain.

  I HAVE HAD THREE C-SECTIONS ALSO AND DUE TO HAVE ANOTHER IN APRIL.WITH MY FIRST TWO I WAS ALSO NUMB AND HAD A TON OF DISCOMFORT.WITH MY LAST ONE TWO YEARS AGO ITS ALL BETTER.I HEELED IN TWO WEEKS AND HAVE NO PAIN OR NUMBNESS.WIERD HUH?I CAN NOT EXPLAIN IT BUT I HOPE THAT MY LAST IS AS EASY AS THE ONE BEFORE.

Even with the joy of holding your new baby, there is emotional stress and pain with unplanned C-Sections. Talking with others may be a way to help each one of us!
