3 weeks after my C section

I'm just over 3 weeks after having a c section and my wound is slightly stingy from time to time and I was just worried about it.. Is this normal and does it look ok??

Looks to be healing beautifully

The stinging is likely from the nerves
in your skin knitting back together. That's a positive, but if you are worried, contact your GP / midwife.

Agree it looks absolutely fine. A bit stingy sounds normal too, I sometimes felt like mine was being bitten by instincts -possibly some nerve sensation returning. Does it feel hot?

It looks good to me. No redness or weeping. It’s going to be stingy on and off for a good while. It’s nearly 3 years since my last section and I still get stinging sometimes
