I could pinch myself really hard and not feel a thing, now I have the opposite, the skin all around is way more sensitive than it was pre 1st c-section... which I find totally bizarre lol!]]>

The area around the scar used to feel so strange when I itched or touched it <img border="0" src="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/smileys/smiley5.gif" border="0">.<br /><br />I remember asking this same Q on here a while back & was somewhat shocked when some people said you never get full feeling back <img border="0" src="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/smileys/smiley3.gif" border="0">.  It sounds to me as if it differs from person to person a bit.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><br />I just had a bit of a feel now (!) & mine is still a bit numb but is definitely better than what it was.]]>

One said you could prick her there and she wouldn't even feel it, it was that numb.<br /><br />I had a feel of mine this morning and I think I can feel everything so it must vary quite a bit person to person.]]>

I have no idea when they went away but they aren't there now.  It's been just over two years since mine.<br /><br />I am pretty sure I still had numb bits for up to about a year after my surgery.  It feels kinda cool really.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I think it's just everything getting back to normal down there.]]>

My scar is healing well etc but I had previously noticed that when I scatched my tummy I had a little less feeling than normal.  I thought it was just a matter of everything knitting back together.<br /><br />Anyway today I did the test with an ice cube that they did before the c-section to check the epi was working.<br /><br />Anyway I definitely have some lack of feeling in parts.  Is it a matter of things still healing?  Did anyone else experience a lack of feeling and how long did it take for things to go back to normal?<br /><br />It doesn't hurt and if this is how it is going to be forever it isn't  a big deal but I am interested to hear how others have recovered?]]>
