C-Section

Hi, I had my first c section and surgery in April and still have numbness across my lower belly. I think it’s nerve damage and so can be permanent but not 100% xx

Yup i am 9 weeks pp and it still doesnt feel quite right although a lot better than before.

Yes it can stay numb, completely normal. I had a c section last April and pretty sure parts still numb.

I had my first baby in 2021 and still have numbness in the area around my scar from the c-section. Can feel slightly but not like I used to before

I’m the same as you but not numbness, the scar is feeling really sore and more so than a couple of weeks ago. Think sometimes it gets worse first before it gets better. Hopefully in a couple of weeks it’ll feel better x

I'm 9 days postpartum from 2nd c section, mine is very numb too but apparently completely normal. I had my first section almost 10 years ago and it was the same then but some did come back.

@Laura My scar also gets sore sometimes. The lining of my underwear sometimes irritates it I think so I’ve been trying to wear loose jogging bottoms and leggings. It seems to have helped! X

I had a cesarean 2 years ago and it lasted for at least 6 months. It eventually came back. When you’re ready, there are massages and techniques you can do to help the scar tissue. Just have a look online x

@Kristen Thank you for the advice Kristen. How long postpartum did you wait before you started the different massage techniques? x

I’m 6 weeks post C Section and it’s still numb. I had a boob job 12 years ago and the scar area is still numb. It doesn’t bother me in the slightest but sometimes it always stays numb x
