Numb Feeling

I'm a little more than 3 week PP and my lower belly (bellow my belly button) is numb.  It feels like pins and needles constantly and it hurts to wear cloths--I am still wearing my huge yoga pants I wore during my last trimester.  Is this normal?  How long will it last?

    well some nerves will regenerate and that is why you are feeling the pins and needles.  It might feel itchy etc.  you may never have it back to normal completely.  I am numb around my incision at 18 months post partum, but slowly it starts to get better and better.

    I'm a bit over 5 months out and I'm still completely numb on about a 3 inch stretch above my incision.

    Mine lasted about 6 months, but I have heard some that have it a lot longer.

    Mine has been 2 years almost and I still can't feel when anyone touches that area. My doctor said it will never come back.

    Yeah & I've been told that w/ each c/s you get less & less feeling in that area.

    My DD is almost a year old and I still have some spots that are semi numb. Kind of like what it feels like when novicaine is wearing off.

    My doctor said if my feeling doesn't come back in a few months then it most likely wont come back.

    Right after delivery I remember a good 2 inches around my entire scar being numb and, as you said, prickly. That feeling came back throughout the weeks but I never gained back sensation where my scar is. Both of these things are completely normal.

    Thanks everyone.  I was just making sure the pain of the numbness would go away!  Glad to know it will.

    It should get better over time. If still numb/strange feeling at 1 year mark, it is not likely to go away. I am 15 months pp and still have numbness.

    Same here. Was just noticing today that it really is numb all in the incision area.
