numbness?

Question

Is it normal to feel numbness in your stomach right about your csection incision? Feels so weird!

Answer

I didn't have a c section but I work in orthopaedic surgery. When you perform any surgery and cut the skin, you cut a lot of tiny nerves that innervate the skin. In the abdomen it probably remains fairly local. In knree replacememts, the whole front lateral area of your shin typically gets numb. Sometimes it'll come back but it takes forever, like a year.
