Hello ...
This has been playing on my mind for a while now .... this may be a long post as it is difficult to describe ....
Anyway, on Thursday it will be DD's first birthday (bless ) and I am getting increasingly worried about my scar.
After DS, by 6 months it was unnoticeable ... flat, white, hidden amongst pubes etc.
Admittedly I have a bit more weight (about 3/4 of a stone) to shift this time but I have a really ugly overhang that I have heard is normal.
BUT, my scar is like an ugly red smile, still itchy, still red and bobbly. On the right side it pulls in tightly and if I pull in my stomach muscles the right side pulls in too .... almost like it is attached.
I am still numb from my belly button down ... the skin is puffy ....
It hurts and aches if I go for a long walk ....
Is this normal after a year?
Thanks oh wise ones ....

(I didn't have a 6 week post op check - they don't do that in NZ, I was signed off by my midwife who, as lovely as she was, was inexperienced and had only been practising for two months when I signed up with her, so when DD was born she had only been a midwife for 11 months)
