C-Section

Hi, I had my first c section and surgery in April and still have numbness across my lower belly. I think it’s nerve damage and so can be permanent but not 100% xx

Yup i am 9 weeks pp and it still doesnt feel quite right although a lot better than before.

Yes it can stay numb, completely normal. I had a c section last April and pretty sure parts still numb.

I had my first baby in 2021 and still have numbness in the area around my scar from the c-section. Can feel slightly but not like I used to before

I’m the same as you but not numbness, the scar is feeling really sore and more so than a couple of weeks ago. Think sometimes it gets worse first before it gets better. Hopefully in a couple of weeks it’ll feel better x

I'm 9 days postpartum from 2nd c section, mine is very numb too but apparently completely normal. I had my first section almost 10 years ago and it was the same then but some did come back.

@Laura My scar also gets sore sometimes. The lining of my underwear sometimes irritates it I think so I’ve been trying to wear loose jogging bottoms and leggings. It seems to have helped! X

I had a cesarean 2 years ago and it lasted for at least 6 months. It eventually came back. When you’re ready, there are massages and techniques you can do to help the scar tissue. Just have a look online x

@Kristen Thank you for the advice Kristen. How long postpartum did you wait before you started the different massage techniques? x

I’m 6 weeks post C Section and it’s still numb. I had a boob job 12 years ago and the scar area is still numb. It doesn’t bother me in the slightest but sometimes it always stays numb x

Could be forever. Most of it will come back but some could stay numb. I’m 2.5 years past my c section and right under my belly button is still numb

I'm also very numb. Only 1.5 weeks pp but I did read it can take months, sometimes years to regain the feeling. Most of the stuff I read online says you'll likely get more feeling back by 3 months, but can take longer.

Mine is still numb from baby born in Jan 2021

I had my first section two years ago on Saturday and still had some numbness when I had my second three weeks ago - the numbness has now spread but I don't know if it's permanent yet.

I experienced this for a long time after my section. Can't remember when it went, but I'm 3 years post and have all feeling back :)

@Amie honestly, can’t remember much 🙈 I think it was around 4 months pp x
