Yes. I've had a small numb patch ever since.

My numbness went away after a year. It gets better with time

I was numb for the first 10 months or so. 1 year later and it feels completely normal.

Just had a prod at mine from 6 months ago and the sensation is back but it was definitely numb for a while.

I think mine was numb for a year or so. Perfectly normal!

Mine still has a number patch over six years later - don't think it always goes away.

Mine was a year or so too. The really odd bit was the lower half of my bum cheeks were numb too, like a weird line across my ass. Very disconcerting...

I'm 12 weeks post emcs and am numb too... also very achey this week for the first time in about 6 weeks. Probably due to DS constantly booting me in the tummy every time he's on my knee Grin

Mine was numb for a while . Get a weird " nettle" type rash if wax near the scar even 6 and again 4 years on . I guess the nerves get damaged. Ask to see someone if you have concerns. Mind you- hark at me and my " advice" - I didn't go back and think they put my belly back a bit wonky.....Shock

Great time to get your belly button pierced as you won't feel it!!!

Feels wired doesn't it?

This appears to be one of those things that loads of women have but people don't seem to talk about it or warn you about!!

Still numb after 11 years in places, but with patches of cold across the top of the scar. Crash section here, so a big scar from a fast op.

Congratulations on the birth of your baby. Flowers
