C section Mum's - 4-5 months recovery

I had emergency section in May & I still cannot wear anything low-rise. I'm worried I will be wearing high waist knickers forever. I haven't asked my husband what he thinks, but he hasn't commented either. It's really knocking my confidence. I've tried to wear my regular knickers & pants but it's just a no go. It really creates a skin crawling feeling for me. Considering all in one type bodysuits instead - is that just as bad as high waisted knickers ha! Please tell me I'm not the only one

    Not the only one! Not only do I not fit in any of my pre pregnancy clothes, but any underwear or clothing resting on my scar is uncomfortable. It doesn't hurt but it's annoying. I have to sleep with no underwear on so I can let the area breathe. The scar is definitely not open but the way I move when I sleep makes my underwear ride down and rest on my scar.

    I sometimes get the same feeling. I have to wear high waisted pants, otherwise I feel like I'm all over the place. And this morning my scar randomly started hurting, but I've heard that's normal.

    It's totally normal for there to be pain/an annoying feeling around your scar for about a year. That's why they recommend especially for c section moms for you to wait a year before conceiving again.
    People forget c sections are MAJOR surgeries. I didn't even realize it till I saw pictures of myself (gross) that most organs are pulled out of your body and put back in. It takes time for everything to sit right again!
