Does your body ever feel the same after a c-section

Question

Almost 12 weeks post emergency  c-section with my first baby and feel like my internal body will never be the same.  I still get sore and twinges of pain on my left side.  My vagina hurts every now and again which is weird to me since I didn't push a baby out of it and sex is still uncomfortable.  I know a c-section is major surgery and takes time and I know everyone is different I'm just looking to see if anyone else had a similar feeling.  I feel like my insides will never be normal again. My dr said everything was healing fine.

Answer

Yes that's completely normal. And I agree w the ladies above it took me about a year to feel somewhat back to normal again. Always felt like my uterus was going to rip open. I've now had 2 c-sections and have absolutely no feeling all around the scar. 2nd one healed faster but still numbness 3yrs later. Will be having 3rd and final c-section in March.

Answer

It took me about 8 months to feel normal. When you feel up to it try to do crunches or something to start stretching your ab muscles, that helped me but I did not do crunches until I was 6-7 months post partum.

Answer

I had a t section(cut both ways) 6 years ago & I honestly do not in any way feel like I went back to normal. Not to mention a lot of my low region and I can't even feel STILL. The painfulness goes away it just doesn't feel normal really.

Answer

I had a CS six years ago... It took a full year before I felt like myself again. I know your tired of people telling you this but it really does take time.

Answer

I had an emergency c section almost 5 years ago. I would say that entire first year I didn't feel normal. Nothing hurt but I just felt different. Now I don't feel anything! Give it time. Good luck!
