Hi! scarsisters, very apt name......I have had 3 c-sections. First elective, as he was 36weeks-9lbs 71/2oz, 1994. Second emergency, I said I would have him naturally, so after 18 hours, he gets stuck, 39weeks-9lbs 12oz, 1996. My third elective but 6weeks early, 34weeks-7lbs 7oz, 2002.
1st was pretty straight forward, I was in a lot of pain, but apart from that, O.K. 2nd, more use to the pain, alot of scar tissue, the surgeon was cutting bits out and chucking it........healed quicker, pain was more bearable. Then a 6 year gap, had 2 misscarriages, then had my heart baby, got up much quicker, was driving at day 8. With all 3 c-sections I have had the pain that goes with the cold weather... or stepping on cold tiles in bare feet, that makes your eyes water. Or even stretching to reach for something above your head, the pain stays with you for a while. But I'm very proud of my scar, all 3 on top of one another, looks pretty neat, now 17 months later, and it has gone that silvery white colour, and I still can not feel anything there. The 6 year gap between 2nd and 3rd baby, I still had no feeling, so that 2inch gap either side of my scar, is officially dead...........
