I dont experience that but i remember that the hospital did arrange for follow up about 5 weeks post csection to check the wound. Maybe you have that appointment too then can use the opportunity to check with doctor.

Yeah maybe cuz i only got one appointment

C section wounds tend to heal longer and we have to watch our food intake. I took essence of fish to make the wound heal faster and avoid food that may cause the wound to itch

Im taking jellygamat what food should i avoid in order not to itch?

I only felt sensitive sensation instead of gnawing pain. My masseuse said its normal because the nerves around the wound is healing back.. Other than that no major pain..

Take care!

I felt pain at 1mpp. After 6m, suddenly jerk also will feel pain. The exterior scar may look healed but the internal scar are still healing.

By 5 weeks, I was mostly back to a state of non-pain most of the time. Best to check with doctor if these pains are affecting daily life.
