I'm 13 days post partum, and my section scar is bumpy and raised however this is my second section. My first was the same but healed flat against the skin. Im still a bit numb aswell. You can massage the skin around your section (not sure how long you need to wait though 🤔) to help with healing!

ahh thank you, I’m 4 weeks tomorrow, and half seems flatter and the other feels more raised like I have a wire there as it’s like a line, my stitches were old school and individual ones that were removed so wasn’t even the new line stitching, I’m still numb in area but also hurts at the same time

I am 5 weeks pp, the scar is flat to my skin but half of it feels hard and lumpy underneath and is more tender.

I'm 2 weeks pp and my 1st ever section. My scar is very sore, although healing lovely and flat, my stomach is still numb still quite swollen someone asked me if I was still pregnant even when I was pushing my baby's pram. That upset me quite a bit. Gave me a complexion then typical bloke think he was trying to be funny but I fact was quite insulting. Bearing in mind I was absolutely huge during pregnancy xx

Still raised and lumpy for me! Although not a lot. Just underneath it is quite tender/stingy still but just above it is still all numb.

ahh that’s good, I’m sorry someone said that to you, don’t let them make you upset you just had a baby, you’re doing amazing and let your body take time, took 9 months to grow x
