How do you remove the c-section scar?

hello! I'm a first time mom, I never had a surgery before and I had a c-section 9 months ago. I would like to know if the scar goes away over time or remains there, because it was super lumpy because they did not take much care at the hospital where I gave birth. And it still feels strange to run my finger over or around the scar and I don't know if it's normal.

Hi I'm a ftm of a 4 year old. I also had a c section. I also feel subconscious about my scar as well until I realized it just looks like a bikini line mark. It also doesn't help that my mommy pouch covers it 😂 I hope your husband is like mine and loves seeing it and reassures you that's okay. Although my husband wishes I go through natural next time. It's quite unflattering when you're getting ready to change or shower at times but you just have to remind yourself that's a memory of the time I had my child. Tbh my son pokes at it from time to time and laughs. I mentally think he remembers subconsciously that he came out from there lol 😂

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia
