I remember having the numbness for quite a while, I've just had a good feel around my scar and it feels normal now. I also broke my ankle 2 years ago and had surgery and that was numb for ages too.]]> Mon, 08 Dec 2008 20:29:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14012&PID=561895&title=tummy-numbness#561895 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14012&PID=555765&title=tummy-numbness#555765 Author: busymum

The numbness is still there (it's almost 5yrs now for me) but it doesn't feel so firm under there as it used to. The area has certainly not got bigger - that's odd.]]> Sat, 29 Nov 2008 22:00:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14012&PID=555765&title=tummy-numbness#555765 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14012&PID=555754&title=tummy-numbness#555754 Author: weegee

I can feel pressure underneath the skin IYKWIM, it's just the surface that I can't feel. I do get the itchy thing too!

Due to go to the docs to top up on a couple of prescriptions anyway so will ask about it when I'm there.]]> Sat, 29 Nov 2008 21:54:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14012&PID=555754&title=tummy-numbness#555754 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14012&PID=555700&title=tummy-numbness#555700 Author: Shezamumof3

I have numbness above my scar, but I have heaps more feeling there than I did a few months ago, its a weird feeling being itchy there but not being able to really feel when you scratch it lol.

Maybe ask your doctor weegee, Im sure its all normal, and like you said you had an infection so that wouldnt help.
Is it totally numb or do you have a bit of feeling there?]]> Sat, 29 Nov 2008 21:10:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14012&PID=555700&title=tummy-numbness#555700 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14012&PID=555548&title=tummy-numbness#555548 Author: weegee

bump... so I've got quite a significant numb area after my c-section and we've recently noticed the area of numbness has gotten bigger It used to be roughly an oval the width of my scar and from just above my scar a couple of inches high. Now it's the same width but it goes all the way up to only a cm or two below my belly button. Has anyone's numb patch gotten bigger like this? I'm wondering if I have such a large numb patch because of my wound infection - I was in hospital for a fortnight - it seems to cover the same area that was covered by the infection. But hoping it will start decreasing in size soon!]]> Sat, 29 Nov 2008 17:32:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14012&PID=555548&title=tummy-numbness#555548 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14012&PID=322767&title=tummy-numbness#322767 Author: NeoshasMummy

I've had 2 C-Sections, one 5 years ago and another just 6 months ago - I had numbness after the first one and again after the second - so for me I guess this is something I will always have, but on saying that, it is a reminder to me (as well as the scar mind you) of my two beautiful boys. I'm with everyone on the weird sensation when you have an itch though - ooohh !!! Sorry I don't have any better news than this.

Mine was numb for around 8months. I sometimes get ingrown hairs but noticed it's better if I gently exfoliate & moisturise. I'm due for my 2nd csect in less than 3 weeks. Has anyone noticed more numbness with subsequent c's?
edit: I didn't exfoliate until after 6months.

I remember the numbness and I also remember talking to my friend about it (she had a c/s 3 weeks after me) I think he may have been about 2 months then
At a guess I would say that the feeling was back between 3-4 months, I have complete feeling back now as well. (and no more itching yay)]]> Tue, 29 Jan 2008 09:14:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14012&PID=288882&title=tummy-numbness#288882 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14012&PID=288873&title=tummy-numbness#288873 Author: sally belly

After having a c-sect nearly 7 weeks ago my tummy is still numb about 2 inches above & below the scar. I have heard varying reports of when (& if at all) it will disappear. Both my MW & GP told me it may take up to 6 months for the feeling to return.

For those that have have c-sects did you experience numbness & when did it disappear? It's obviously not a huge deal but it does feel kind of odd, especially when it gets itchy ]]> Tue, 29 Jan 2008 09:08:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14012&PID=288873&title=tummy-numbness#288873
