Question for C Section Mamas

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months

I had a c-section about six months ago, and my scar is still raised and purplish red. It feels a little sore to the touch, although I wouldn't say it's painful. I would feel a little nervous to shave around the area.

If you had a c-section, what does your scar look like now? I have no idea what would be considered normal...

    Mine is a red line, its a little raised. No pain at all. A little numb to the touch though. I dont have any issues with it at all, i even shave over it. Also this was my second one, so its a scar on top of the old scar, if that makes sense. Good Luck!

    Mine is pink and raised too. I wouldn't say it's painful but definitely still numb and sensitive which my doctor said is normal and can last a year.

    Mine is barely noticeable except on the very end for about 1/2 inch where it's red and raised.  It isn't sore to the touch or anything but sometimes when I wear certain pants it will hurt.

    Mine is pink. Had my c-section 6.5 mos ago. I have been shaving over it for about 3 or so months. Up until about 2 months ago I didn't like anything touching it with force (not talking about clothes). It still bothers me a little when LO stands on my stomach depending on how I am laying/sitting.

    Mine is still dark pink, although it might look purple-y sometimes; perhaps it's a mood scar?  Stick out tongue I got some Neosporin about two months ago and apply it liberally anytime the scar feels weird.

    Mine is very healed and very light pink.  Similar to my stretch marks.  It never hurts.  BUT I don't have full feeling in much of my stomach between my scar and belly button.  And sometimes that area above my scar itches but nothing I do makes the itch go away...then it goes on it's own.
