C Section Scar

Is it normal 8 months pp for your section scar to be sore when wearing jeans? Or when I've done loads for it to be sore? For eg if I hoover and mop my house, my scar gets sore and like irritated/itchy?

I’m 16 weeks and sometimes my scar feels itchy. It can also get a bit sore if I’ve worn tight jeans for too long or moved around a lot.
I was told it was just going to take time and to remember to rest.

Mine is still sore and I’ve found very similar to how you have described (10 months on).

I had my two c-sections in 2001 and 2003 and the scars still gets sore and itchy sometimes. Nelsons tea tree cream is instantly calming and soothing, I do recommend.

I'm 9 months pp and my scar can get sore If something rubs off it too much. Scars and nerves can take ages to heal.
