C-sec recovery

Thanx Julz & RM

Bundle of Joy - I found as time passed mine gradually got smaller.

I scar badly and by the end of the first year mine starts to look not so bad, by the end of the second year it has shrunk to a good size and is not red and raised anymore. (I suffer from keloids so my scars always look like a just occurred road accident.)

Bundle mine is 17cm long. I think they may have had to widen it a tiny bit during the second surgery, but 15cm is quite normal.

How long are your c-section scars?
Everyone always says how small their scars are, but myne is atleast 15cm which I feel is rather long - is this normal?

Ok ok, I will where my belly band. A friend of mine gave it to me, so I didnt pay a cent. Luckilly I have a domestic, which really help sooo much! I alsoj read taking Arnica tablets help speeds up healing. My doc also told me that she removed alot of scar tissue from my previous c-sec because my gynie from that time messed up pretty badly

My mom said I should wear underwear like the click brand that tuck in your tummy. Apparently you wear something like that with a tummy tuck. I never used it so can't say if it would have worked.

I also keep thinking that the second time round is going to be much worse! I had an easy pregnancy, easy c-section and now an easy baby. Shes 2weeks and has slept through 2 nights in a row!! Life is never this easy! I just hope and pray my dr does not retire before then!!

Also think if you end up with an emergency c-section its much much worse.
