Csection mammas!

MegV1225

Hey everyone! I have a question for those of you who had c sections! I had an emergency c section 6 weeks ago this Friday! I have to tell you that I still feel a lot of tenderness around the incision! I also still feel like the area is still swollen! Anyone else have a similar  experience after a C?

Im 9 weeks pp and only last week did I begin to feel like myself, I was tender and mildly swollen for several weeks after my c-section.

Had the same feeling! My LO is almost 4 mos and my stomach still feels numb!

I was puffy just above the incision for a few months, and 2 years later, I still have some numbness. Totally normal.

this is my second c-section and the recovery is much faster!!  the first one takes a while to recover, just from my experience....

I am 12 weeks pp and still ha be numbness and some tenderness (when pressed on). My dr. Said it could take up to a year for the numbness to go away.

My daughter is a year old and the area around the incision is still numb.  It hasn't been painful for a long time but its still numb.

I'm only 3 weeks out, but I'm still tender and numb around the incision.  One of my coworkers had a c-section as well and she said her site stayed numb for months so I assume it's normal.

I'll be six weeks out on Friday and I do feel sore on occasion. I don't think I look swollen, though, or feel particularly tender at the incision. I feel more sore on the inside. Have you had your 6 week check up? Definitely ask your doctor about it and maybe call if you have already had your check up.

4 weeks PP here. I never had much swelling but I still have tenderness, both general and to the touch. I've only been wearing soft clothing because it's uncomfortable rubbing against the incision. If you're unsure, check with your doc. GL!

I've had two sections so far.  I've done really well on the healing.  My last one I was up and going to the bathroom and sitting for a couple min on the couch in my room 8 hours after surgery began!  I use the steri strips until they fall off on their own and replace them if it's been less than two weeks after surgery.  My incision has been a little tender for a couple weeks each time.  There was a LOT of numb tingliness around the incision after my first section for a few months even.  I'll be having another section with this last baby.

I'm 11 weeks out and finally most of the swelling is gone. The numbness still exist on the right side of the scar. My mom had a csection with my brother almost 30 years ago and she said there is still a numb spot near her incision. So it may or may not ever go away.

It takes awhile to heal, especially internally.
You may have numb spots forever.

I'm 10 weeks pp, feeling ok though the skin around my scar is still numb. 2 weeks ago I started doing aerobics every morning, feeling much better now. Right after c-section i was mildly swollen for 4 weeks, after 6 weeks the area around the scar started to get better, same as looking better. I'm using oily cream for the scar, calls meboscar, seams like helping.
