I'm wanting a planned c section and a girl told me that if you have a c section it damages your nerves she said she cannot feel a thing down there she doesn't even feel anything during sex is this true will this happen to me if I have one

Is she 12?

Thesearmsofmine · 28/10/2020 23:00

I’ve had 3 and no it isn’t true. There is a small area that is numb around my scar but it doesn’t have any impact on sex.

BadgertheBodger · 28/10/2020 23:00

Definitely not what a strange question

AtrociousCircumstance · 28/10/2020 23:00

No, it’s not true. Of all the women I know who have had C sections, not a one of them has suffered this.

Saratustra78 · 28/10/2020 23:00

That’s utterly absurd. I had one and no problems having sex whatsoever

DramaAlpaca · 28/10/2020 23:01

Don't be daft.

Cbatothinkofausername · 28/10/2020 23:01

Okay, I’ve never had a pregnancy but surely the point of a C section is that they cut the belly not the sexual organs?

It sounds like she is talking rubbish.

FatGirlShrinking · 28/10/2020 23:02

Why would that be true?

A c section isn't performed on your genitals it's done just above your pubis on your lower belly.

There are potential side effects with an epidural of some nerve damage as it's an injection into your back but they are low risk not common and more likely to affect back/legs than genitals.

imjustbxx · 28/10/2020 23:03

@Cbatothinkofausername that's what I was thinking but she said that when they cut her they damaged her nerves she got nerve damage

Not true. I think the problem might be her partner 🤭

RenegadeMrs · 28/10/2020 23:04

The medical world can throw up anomalies, but I've not heard of that before. I've had 2 sections and am absolutly fine.

imjustbxx · 28/10/2020 23:04

@ItsNotPinkItsSalmon 🤣🤣 haha

3 sections here and I can’t feel the area around my cuts, is that what she could have meant? Sex is the same as it was before!

imjustbxx · 28/10/2020 23:09

@Mummysgonetobed no she said to me "you could stick anything up there and I wouldn't feel a thing don't do it" she said that she's completely lost all feeling in her vagina
