Post C-Sec, how long did your tummy stay numb?

The lower portion of my stomach (a few inches above the incision) is still mostly numb. Just curious how long this lasts? I feel like I have itches there sometimes and it is just weird!

I'm wondering the same thing - and I'm only a month out! It scares me a little that you're 3 months and still feeling this!

I know what you mean though...it doesn't hurt which is good but it just feels a little weird. ick. I'm ready to feel normal again!

10 months later and its still numb.  I think it is less numb than before though.

I think by about 9-10 months I don't feel any numbness anymore. but it took a long time before it was competely gone.

My twins are about to turn 9 years old, and I still don't have feeling in a small thin area right on the incision.

Mine is numb up to my bellybutton, and a few weeks ago I didn't even realize DS2 had peed on me until it dripped down to my leg! It soaked all the way through my underwear and I had no idea. So weird when there must be plenty of blood flow in that area to heal the incision.

I'm 4 months out today and still have some numbness on the right half. I had my husband poke around at different spots and he was amazed when I had to ask him if he was touching me because I honestly couldn't feel it. I have a few friends that have had c-sections (one has had multiple) and all of them have said that it would take quite a while to get complete feeling back, if you get it back.

My scar is still numb and the area around it is too.

My twins will be 2 next month and there are a few spots near my c/s line that still feel numb.

My MIL who had DH via c-section almost 30 years ago...still says that she gets weird feelings where her scar is! It's almost like she can feel the scar, if that makes any sense!

6 months out and I'm numb on the right half of my stomach from my bellybutton down to my scar.

3 months out and I'm not completely numb but the feelings aren't completely there.  It feels like a dull sensation when I poke at it.  I still can't feel delicate touches.  It's weird when I'm brushing my teeth and my belly rubs up against the counter.  I don't feel that I'm touching the counter until the upper part of my tummy feels the coldness of the granite and then I realize I'm up against the counter.
