Anyone had abdominal numbness for weeks after c-section?

[GemmaPearl97]

Normally have abdominal pain but immediately had none right after c-section & it didnt come back for a month after

Above and below my section scar is still numb. My child is 10!

Mine is still numb and Dts are 12

Yup mine is 25, and still no sensation in that area.

Years never mind months! About 14 years so far 😬

I remember either googling this or asking on Mumsnet a few months after mine and everybody saying they still have it years later. Now I'm here, can confirm!

Yup 11yrs on my belly is still numb

Mine was numb above the scar for probably a couple of years. The sensation gradually came back completely.

I don't think my stomach muscles have ever recovered from 3 C sections - I had the pains around the scar for many years (youngest is now 23) but recently noticed that however much ab work I do, I never feel it in my lower abs and wonder if the nerves have just disappeared somehow

Yes mine was numb for months, completely normal. It’s just a shame women aren’t given all this info before being discharged.

27 years here - used to it now

Yep numbness from the first which was 7 years ago.

I also have numbness in my arm where I had surgery in 2012

Yes. 15 years on. Completely used to it now and don’t even notice it. If the feeling came back it would probably freak me out!

Didn't have c-section but still have numbness after a tummy tuck. They cut through all the layers of muscle and nerves so it's sort of inevitable.

Had my last CC 15 years ago and the sensation around my scar has never returned

Yes me too, 11 years and counting my whole abdomen is numb. Feels like a thick piece of fabric tied round my waist. My mum is a midwife and said she'd never heard of this as a side effect of C-section before, but then there's never been anyone official for me to report it to but I know from on here that it's really common.

Yes some numbness still there 11 years on.

Yes still numb 3 years on. Not expecting the feeling back.
