Wasn’t sure where to post this.

Wondered how long it took everyone to recover from a csection? I still get pain from mine when I walk long distances or sometimes the day after sex it can hurt? Feel like this shouldn’t be happening 12 months on x

I still got pain 3 years later . Also from where the scar is right up to my bellybutton feels like a giant bruise , I can't touch it and it burns if I have clothing brush against it . I think it's some sort of nerve damage .
I'm pregnant again now and the pain in the scar itself is getting worse .

I have recently heard great things about acupuncture . I will deffo be getting some on my scar once I've had this baby :)

Had mine 4 years ago and it still pulls and hurts when I walk for too long or bend..it's still numb too on the right hand side. I don't think it's something that ever fully heals. It's major abdominal surgery and I can imagine how many layers they have to cut through to get baby out 😷..I would never have one again if I can help it. If your concerned try to get your stomach checked over at your gp surgery :-)
