C section

[Twimum23]

So I’ve recently had my twins 7 weeks prem by emergency c section all went really well scar healing really good bruising was almost gone by day 5 so was just wondering does the numbness ever go completely

I'm 5 months post section and the numbness is definitely less than it was but still there. Do lots of massaging and different textures on it to encourage feeling back. I think it will continue to get a bit better over time but will always be a bit numb, scar tissue normally is.
I've asked a few friends who are years post section and they still have some numbness.

I still have some numbness 9 years later.

How long before You started do any exercise

Exercise 😂 I still haven't really. I don't have time yet. When my baby naps independently I'll go on the exercise bike for half an hour a day. Only contact naps at the moment.

I went for a 45 minute walk when I was about 2.5 weeks post section. From about 5 weeks I was walking every other day. But no real exercise yet, I think you can from about 6-8 weeks as long as you feel able to but everyone is different.

I'm nearly 3y after my first c section and definitely not numb any more- can't remember when, but it might have been around 6-9m when the numbness ended.

But the scar is still a bit itchy on a hot day or if I wear tight jeans. 3y on. I think it's forever sadly

My first was an emergency c-section and I was numb for a long time afterwards. I fell pregnant again when my son was 13 months and I don't remember still having numbness when I was pregnant. I ended up having another emergency c-section but was only numb for maybe a month or two. I don't have any numbness or discomfort now. However I did have a patch on the outside of my left thigh that was numb/painful for some reason? I think that must have been a side effect from the spinal. That lasted maybe around 6/7 months.

Yes I had an emcs in 2019 and although I had numbness at the scar site it did go after a few months xx

Glad the numbness will subside feels weird and can feel some of my belly but not the middle of it.
what would you guys says is better to carry on contraception was on the pill then stopped to have Babies so now thinking either to start pill again or have the injection

I would recommend condoms until your lochia has stopped to reduce the chance of infection

I just went back on the pill but I suppose it’s all down to personal preference x
