My bottom abdomen is still numb and feels tingly. Sometimes I get a pulling sensation if I move weird!

The recovery was rough…burning, tingling, overall soreness. But now, over a year later, we’re good! Just some lingering numbness in my lower belly above the incision

Mine felt like it pulled for the first month or so. Fine now 5 months pp, but does get a bit itchy. That's more than likely from the fact I have extra weight that hangs over the scare trapping sweat but nothing medically wrong with the scar and nothing medically causing any discomfort, just sweat

Almost 4 years after c-section and it feels completely back to normal. I did go to women's physio though and it took a couple of years to fully recover.

If you're concerned, please see your doctor/midwife/health visitor. They'd be able to advise, both before and after the section. Evidently everyone is different. Bloody hurts the first 4 weeks after at least, not going to lie, and you do need to do wound care after ie warm water with nothing in it, so no shower gels etc. I just had Luke warm water going through the shower, still do, and rinse the scar off. But any concerns, if youre able to, see medical staff ☺️

First few weeks like a water bed. Just jiggly but that’s normal after a pregnancy.
Pelvis had no issues, no floor issues with either recovery. No numbness after a few weeks, full sensation came back after both surgeries within 6-12m.
I’m 15m pp now and stomach is toned and flat.
