Guest guest Posted July 31, 2002 Report Share Posted July 31, 2002 You poor thing, I hope you didn't have as much pain as I did with the vertical incision. It was awful, the only way I got thru it was to keep telling , myself " in 6 weeks I will be normal " it was from my TL and I was brestfeeding so I couldn't take pain pills, I walked around like the hunchback.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2002 Report Share Posted July 31, 2002 It wasn't too bad but much worse than my c-sections that were done horizontally. I am hoping to talk them into using the horizontal scar for the c-section this time. in MI DD 4/91 DD 6/94 TL 6/94 TR 4/02 EDD 3/03 Re: If you had a tr over a year ago... it will be a yr in Nov, but mine is still numb and occ. itches.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2002 Report Share Posted July 31, 2002 It was worth it but I am really hoping they will agree to use the horizontal scar this time especially since they have 2 to choose from now!

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2002 Report Share Posted August 5, 2002 Don't mean to butt in but I ended up with a vertical scar when I was so sure that I would be a candidate for a horizontal scar. I don't think my stomach will ever be flat again, not like pre baby belly. So the scar is hidden and it is so low. The things that bother me about it is the numbness in certain places and I want to do more than I can do at times. Debbie > > Is your scar and / or the area around it still numb?
