Where is the c section scar located?

Question

Is it in the pubic hair line, below, or above? Does a skimpy bikini bottom cover it? How long are they usually? I may have to get a c section because baby won’t turn head down 😣 Any & all advice/info welcome!

Answer

Mine was above the pubic hair line (my natural one) and about 6 inches across. A bikini would not cover mine. A hipster or midrise style might.

Answer

Mine is about an inch above my pubic bone and about 5 inches long. I have to wear underwear that goes above it or it hurts, im assuming it will lessen over time (only 6weeks PP now)

Answer

Mine is about five inches long right below the pubic line. I wear tiny VS bikinis and you can’t see it. It was done 5 months ago so it’s not quite done healing yet but I can show you a picture if you’d like! It’s really not that bad especially if you have amazing drs like I did 😊

Answer

I’m sure it depends on your doctor, but most scars are pretty low these days. I wear skimpy bikinis when I swim, and thongs on a regular basis and you can’t see my scar. It’s about 5 or 6 inches across, but it seems like it’s constantly shrinking.

Answer

Mine is below my hair line and about 5” longi can wear low rise bikinis and you cannot see it. My scarred really bad with keloids but I never did anything to it because it was covered. After a couple years the keloids were gone and it was flat. Now it’s been 18 years since I’ve had it (I was 16) and it’s flat and white and almost non existent. Really hoping for a vbac this go round so I don’t have to go through the scarring again.

Answer

Here's mine (ignore the burn mark, it went away idk if it was chemical or from the thing they used during the surgery). The line going down vertically is my linea nigra I've had since birth.

Answer

Mine is right where my natural stomach line is, so when healed it won't really be visible. It's also very flat and thin. It is definitely below the underwear line.

Answer

Mine sits right above my vs undies and has healed to barely noticeable
