Do they cut in the same incision or a different place? I had one c-section and am worried about the mechanics of it for a second. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-or-less-tender-after-repeat-c-section#post-1080748 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 19:22:29 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1080748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>More, and mine were 5 years 2 months apart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-or-less-tender-after-repeat-c-section#post-1080742 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 19:20:58 +0000 autumnlove 1080742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Less tender! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-or-less-tender-after-repeat-c-section#post-1080732 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 19:15:47 +0000 banana 1080732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarbear: Mine were 27 months apart so maybe that helped? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-or-less-tender-after-repeat-c-section#post-1080721 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 19:11:39 +0000 GrapeCrush 1080721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: my doctor said that is usually the case. So I'm an anomaly lol I also had severe pain due to a stitch, so that may play a part in it? And they were 15 months apart... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-or-less-tender-after-repeat-c-section#post-1080637 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 18:42:14 +0000 banana 1080637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine felt less tender! I feel like I healed much faster, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-or-less-tender-after-repeat-c-section#post-1080594 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 18:31:04 +0000 GrapeCrush 1080594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Today i had my 6 week pp visit and i told the doctor that i was still tender in my lower abdomen/incision area, and even more tender than i was after my 1st csection(16 months ago). he was surprised by this. he said that for most repeat csections you aren't as tender.</p> <p>were you more or less tender after your 2nd(or 3rd, etc) csection, than the first?</p> <p>BTW, everything looked great though at my visit! </p>
