does your c-section incision still sting?

it has been 13 months and at times mine still stings!!! anyone else??

 

It doesn't sting, but it's just never felt right. It still feels numb in some areas and just overall kind of weird.

Same for me. Mine does itch all the time though. I had one questionable spot after delivery, I had to watch for infection, and that's the spot that always itches.

Ditto!

 

Yeah, feels weird and is numb in some spots, but mine also throbs a lot too.

 

Mine never really regained feeling after my first daughter, 14 years ago. Just a little numb around the scar.

Mine just stopped bothering me right about the one year mark. It's funny - one day I realized it no longer felt weird. It was between 11 & 12 mos.

 

mine still feels weird....numb...

 

Mine just itched periodically for the first 2 years.

 

Yep, still numb in some areas and a sharp pain does shoot through it every now and then.

 

yup, it still bothers me and i feel like it always will. it hasn't gotten any better in the last 6 months or so.

 

I still have no feeling, and I didn't have any feeling 4 years after John was born c-section too. But no stinging for me. I would talk to my OB about that.

Me too!

 

Mine doesn't sting or itch or feel weird but it did for the longest time. I think after a year it started to feel better. Now I never notice it anymore. One thing I learned - when it's bothering you try putting some Neosporin, the kind with pain relief. It was like instant relief for me.

 

Mine is still numb and sore and itchy at times.

Fun stuff huh mamas.

Yup...me, too!

 

Mine itches a lot and feels weird, kinda numb like pp describe. I put the girls' aquaphor on it when it gets itchy and that helps.

 

Mine was sore for a long time. Close to 2 years. Now it's just numb.

Mine still feels weird at times too. Sometimes numb, sometimes sore.
