C-section scar

I had an elective Caesarian over 4.5 months ago now. My lower stomach still feels slightly numb and I don’t feel like I have full sensation back. As if it’s still a little tingly when I touch it. Anyone else’s stomach feel this way and is this normal this far on?

Yes!! It makes me cringe the feeling of it, my doctor said completely normal as they sever the nerves and can take up to a year for the feeling to come completely back x

My scar stings too

Same! I went for a mummy MOT and they recommended sone light massage you can do yourself to bring sensation back

Yep mine is still very numb and sometimes hurts a little. My mum said hers is still numb 30 years later :o

Yeah I know people who have the numbness still 20+ years later too!

Mine still hurts often and feels numb. 4 months ago also. That’s not a long time and your muscles have literally been cut apart. Nerve endings won’t ever feel the exact same again but as the years go on they will change and you’ll get sensations again or maybe new ones. It’ll be manageable.

Yep mines the same and get the occasional sting/shooting pain in the corner

I think it's totally normal, mines the same and my friend had hers a year ago and still doesn't have full feeling back x

My Caesarian was nearly 5 months ago and mine is Eva you the same! Scar heeled perfects within a month but the sensation is not the same at the lower end of my stomach. My sister has had two Caesarian’s , latest one 5 years ago and she said hers is still like that! Think that’s the normal feeling now x

Just want to sleep again! 🫩

I wake up around 8.30am, have some cereal, meditate/pray for a bit, make a cuppa and then by 10am I’m tired again and could easily nap. My iron levels have been checked and were fine. Is it just me or is anyone else feeling like this? I’m currently 35 weeks pregnant 👀

Possible blood clot on the lung /VQ scan

Has anyone had a VQ scan for possible blood clots. As I need to have to have one and concerned due to the radiation and possible risk of baby having childhood cancer.

Baby girl names

Love pretty shorter names such as Millie, Gracie, Lottie. My husband only likes Millie and I’m struggling to find anything else he likes! However I’m not 100% on Millie.

Love Lilly, Maisie, Isabelle, Tilly but sadly can’t use these sadly.

We have a little boy called Oliver (Ollie).

Middle name will be Rae.

Any ideas?🙈

Review at 36 weeks

Has anyone had An anesthesia review at 36 weeks?
What is this for as I never had this with my first?
I am being scanned every 3 weeks as my first was small and now my second is measuring small.

Anyone else still feeling really good

If I hadn’t of had a scan I wouldn’t believe I was pregnant. I was tired with sore boobs and this is still the case but no where near as much. I feel so good. I am incredibly bloated though but I can deal with that. My first pregnancy I suffered with dizziness really bad so this is a pleasant change.

Princess birthday party

My child will be turning 5 over the summer and they’ve asked for a princess party but keep changing their mind on which princess they’d like to most their party so have said I can choose 🙈 which princess would your child have chosen at a similar age or if you’ve been to a few princess parties which one was best?
