I had an EMCS in October last year. It was a category 1 one, so DD was out within six minutes. I don't know if the speed would have made a difference.
I healed well on the outside and only have a tiny white scar, but in the inside I still feel 'wrong'.
Symptoms:
I can feel a hard mass (with my hands) under the flesh but I can only feel it when I stand up. The mass seems to be all the way across my lower abdomen.
General ache around hips and lower abdomen - especially when I get up from sitting down.
Occasional burning pain behind belly button. Very short lived (seconds) and usually when I'm lying down.
Twisting/ache down either side of my low abdomen (instinctively feels like my Fallopian tubes).
Very numb a good three inches above scar.
I've had an ultrasound which was unclear but showed nothing worrying.
Periods are heavy but regular.
I was overweight pre pregnancy (BMI 30) and remain very podgy on my lowest tummy (that bastard apron is immovable).
Is this just how it is? Or should I keep taking up the GPs time to say that I feel 'weird'?
