Mine does! I'm still afraid to touch it! I'm 6 months PP. It popped open once about a month after my c section so that's probably why!
I'll have to get over it because in about 6 more months I'm planning on stretching it out again!
-
It did after LO 1 but not this time!
-
yikes!
mine felt sore even after a year. it was a weird kind of itchy sore feeling. but it did eventually go away.
-
I still sensitive about it. Sometimes when we're playing on the floor, LO will dig her heel in and OUCH. LO is 19 months old.
-
@BlueWolverine: mine burned really badly leaning over the bed changing LO the other day. My mom said hers still burns sometimes and her c section was 16 years ago!
-
Yes! Mine sort of pulls if I stretch really far and it's still tender if I bump up against something or my daughter bumps it when she's climbing all over me. I'm a year post partum.
@Danizaur: ouch! That sounds awful.
-
Yes - after my first. Sometimes it felt like a tugging in the inside and the scar itched. Not the second time around. This time I massaged it more and don't feel anything and I'm 3 months pp.
-
I don't have an answer but I wanted to say omg we might be on the mommys board together again because me and DH are going to try again in march
good luck
-
No, after 2 months or so it felt fine.
-
Yup. Mine came open to so I was super nervous about it. I don't want to say it hurts but it more tingles and has other weird sensations occasionally. So weird!
-
Yep. I was feeling ok with it until a part popped open last week (4 months after cs!). Now, I'm more careful.
-
@Dandelion: what?! I didn't know that could happen so late in the healing process. Are you ok?
-
@Mrs. Jump Rope: yep, it healed right back up. I posted about it here: http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-weird-thing-happened
-
@Dandelion: I just saw that! Duh. I remember now.
I had a teeny tiny spot open *above* my inscision line. I was so freaked out and thought I would get a nasty infection.
Like you, it was a small pocket fluid. My OB told me to do warm compresses 3x/day and it drained all the fluid & now it looks healed.
But holy cow I was freaking out at the red bubble that was draining clear fluid. Eeeeehhh!
-
@Mrs. Jump Rope: yep, same thing. It was very freaky! The crazy thing is that I have a similar bump on my navel incision from my gall bladder surgery. I'm just waiting for the creepy burst, lol.
-
I'm 2.5 years out and it's still sensitive. My son somehow knows how to dig his little toes into it when I'm carrying him. Leaning against the counter can sometimes hurt, too. I never had any issues with the incision, but I think I must have a bit of interior scar tissue that makes it so sensitive.
-
@Dandelion: I still have a few steri strips on and I can't bear to pull them off. Even though I can see a healed scar I'm convinced they're holding me closed & if they come off my inscision will break open.
I'm a mess this time
-
@Mrs. Jump Rope: It'll get better.
I had glue on mine, and they said once it falls off, I should be healed up.
-
@Mrs. Jump Rope: My doctor instructed me at my 1 week PP appointment to remove the steri strips. I was too afraid to touch them and when I came back when my incision popped open a couple of weeks later she got mad when she saw some were still there. Lol!!
-
@Danizaur: I pinky swear to pull them off before my six week pp appointment.
My nerves got the best of me this time. I'm normally not such a wuss!
-
@Danizaur: Mine is still incredibly sensitive and LO turned 2 in May!
-
My incision healed really well. Every once in a while I get a pain that feels like its about to come apart. I'm 8 months pp.
-
Mine itches if I forget to moisturise it. Like itches intensely. I worry I'll forget I'm in public and scratch it making everyone think I've got crabs or something
-
Mine felt totally normal, minus some numbness by my 6 week pp visit!
good luck
