C section moms...tell me exactly how you were feeling after 4 months..

Its been 4 months since my c section. I am still aware of it EVERY DAY. Although of course its nothing like it was in the beginning, its still SO TENDER..the left side always feels like its pulling and god forbid the dog jumps up on me or the baby kicks me there, I see stars! Is this normal?? Most of the area still feels pretty numb too....how do or did you ladies feel at about 4 months?

Re: C section moms...tell me exactly how you were feeling after 4 months..

I am three month post baby, I still feel it too. The area is numb (which may stick around for a looooooooooooong time). It only bothers me if the baby kicks or I hit it directly. I had to wear only underwear that was below or above because that would sometimes irritate it.

I am 4 months PP and besides it occassionaly feelign scratchy i don't ever even notice i have it. It's numb to the touch at the area incision, but i don't notice that unless i am touching it. No tugging or anything like that.

I am 6 mos pp and I still notice it. If I stand the baby up on me, it kills if she steps on my scar area. It is still a little numb feeling and very pink - I thought it would fade a little by now.

Hayley is 15 months now but I remember it being numb for at least 8 months. My scar just now started to fade.
