My doctor used dissolvable stitches and steri-strips. </p> <p>I never felt like I had any numbness around the incision site, although the actual incision itself feels a bit "funny" (but I wouldn't call it numb). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-incision#post-16166 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 18:18:46 +0000 musicbox611 16166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DS is 8 years old and I still can't feel anything! I had massive complications with my c-section though, so that may be part of the reason. Although- my mother is still numb in that area as well and my youngest brother turns 18 next week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-incision#post-15716 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 01:29:17 +0000 Red 15716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Staples, plus it's been almost 1 year and it's still numb. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-incision#post-15713 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 01:20:19 +0000 Boogs 15713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is 7 months old and I don't notice any numbness. I'm honestly kind of creeped out by touching my scar, though, so I could be wrong. The stitched me on the inside and used staples on the outside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-incision#post-15707 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 00:43:08 +0000 erinpye 15707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't had a c-section, but I did have an abdominal scar revision in 2003 (to correct a bad incision from an appendectomy in 1995). I'd never even thought about testing it before, but reading this, I felt along my incision and it's numb. It's never occurred to me to see if I had feeling there before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-incision#post-15667 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 22:45:43 +0000 DisneyBee 15667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DS is 10 months old, and my incision area is still numb in certain areas. Sometimes, I feel slight pain (like a needle stabbing me), but it doesn't last too long. The doctors used glue to close me up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-incision#post-15661 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 22:26:32 +0000 venice4504 15661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The line is numb but around it has a weird feeling (not totally normal). I had staples like Livsmama that they took out 2 days afterwards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-incision#post-15633 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 20:53:15 +0000 LivsMama 15633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Liv is about to be 4 months old and the incision is definitely not as numb as it was. Actually none of it is except the very center. I had staples for 2 days, then they removed them and put on the steri strips for 2 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-incision#post-15526 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 17:57:36 +0000 L2sweetpea 15526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD is 8 weeks old, and I have some feeling, but it's definitely not back to normal. At my 6 week pp check up the doctor said it takes about a year to gain full feeling back in that area. So definitely takes quite some time. At least it's not painful anymore...that's the way I look at it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-incision#post-15453 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 15:34:47 +0000 runsyellowlites 15453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@adira yea DH had just asked me about it a few weeks ago and I was like<br /> "yea... still numb... WAIT *push push push* WOW I can feel it again!"</p> <p>LOL.... it does eventually get feeling back, just takes a loooong time. And then it's in certain spots and such until it ALL back to "normal" =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-incision#post-15451 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 15:33:32 +0000 Becksabee 15451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My incision is still numb, but I just had mine on October 11th so it hasn't been long. My doctor used staples. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-incision#post-15449 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 15:31:37 +0000 Adira 15449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: Wow, that's a long time, but also encouraging. My friend had a c-section 2 years ago and I asked her recently if she was still numb and she said she was. It's good to know the nerves eventually grow back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-incision#post-15445 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 15:27:46 +0000 runsyellowlites 15445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-incision#post-15441 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 15:23:02 +0000 Adira 15441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: 7 YEARS? Or months...? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-incision#post-15437 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 15:20:07 +0000 runsyellowlites 15437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 7 and it was just recently that I realized I wasn't numb in spots anymore.</p> <p>It took quite awhile for the nerves to grow back and me get full feeling again..... I had staples. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-incision#post-15425 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 14:55:29 +0000 hreichard 15425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was wondering if anyone had a c-section and how long did it take for you to heal and not feel numb anymore? Also, did you have staples or did they use the glue?</p> <p>It's been 4 months for me and i still feel numb where my incision is. They used the glue on me w/ stitches on the inside and my incision looks really good, just still numb and tingly. </p>
