Tender around c-section?

For those who had a c-section, how long did the area around your scar feel tender for? My scar has healed nicely (3 weeks post section), no sign of infection but it feels quite bruised around the area. It’s only tender to touch and I can move around freely etc. Just wondering if others found the same and how long it took until it wasn’t so sensitive please? Thanks!

Yup, I’m 3 weeks post section and mines still sensitive. becoming itchy as well!

I’m 7 weeks post section and I’d say it’s only just wearing off for me - I say about the 5 week mark the tenderness starts to subside. Even my stretch marks felt extra sore in that area. Now it’s literally only around the scar but even then it’s minimal xx

Same, 3 weeks 5 days and it's really really tender and sometimes hot to touch. Sorry can't answer the question but mines the same. when are you/ did you take a bath? X

The entire area around the belly button is really bruised and sore to the touch, can barely stand to wear jeans for longer than I have to. The outer incision is healing well, just a bit of bruising still visible. Back pain is pretty awful, not sure if it’s related 🙂‍↕️ 3 full weeks after
