Ive never been to the doctor about this because I have genuinely believed this is how c sections were supposed to be like afterwards, but I mentioned it to a colleague and fellow member of c sect club and she looked at me and said it was absolutely not.
So, had an emergency section 3 years ago, it healed quickly/neat etc.
However I dont need the toilet in the same way anymore, it just doesnt feel like a full bladder and more like my scar feels stretched, so I can be bursting but feel no urgency at all iyswim?
Also (and I realise this sounds like a good thing! ) I havent had a period pain at all, no cramps, although do have periods.
I genuinely thought this was normal, after all they do cut you open and have a good old rummage around in there.

Four sections and no, that doesn't sound normal.

I experienced the not needing to wee sensation for about 6 months after my section, but it's resolved itself now. Apparently my bladder was bruised in the op, which caused some of the problem.

I'd definitely see a GP.

I've never had the wee sensation thing, and I've found period pain much worse after my section. Any one else found that?

I am the same as you op especially about the wee feeling. I had my second c section several years after and it was found that I had ALOT of scar tissue. This caused complications during the surgery.
I still have the wee issue but my period pain has come back to the point were it is getting me down now.

2 sections and I agree with you about the wee issue. Never had 'pregnant woman's bladder' in pregnancy which I saw as a blessing.
