@lovi151: I agree, God blessed us with little angels, I love my children so much! My newborn son especially makes me smile :))

@nesik: don't worry u will be back to your perfect size soon. But the most precious gift from GOD we have got is our little angle because some women can't get that naturally. So the body shape for us is a minor thing which we will get back to normal. I have same feeling like u about my figure but if we will think positive it will help us to maintain it :-))) you are gorgeous

With my first I was like this too, tired and sleepy all the time and a little depressed cause of c-section, my recovery took longer than this time, I just feel like my incision is pulling on the right side like it stuck to something inside, other than that I feel great, I had to recover faster this time cause I had to take care of my older child too, now I just really want not to look like 5 months pregnant, I hoped by 8 weeks my belly will be a lot smaller, guess I was wrong.

A c-section is major surgery and it does take time to get back to a 100%. I've had three of them and usually by about 10-12 weeks I feel like my usual self again. The numbness above my incision never went away and that's normal since they cut through all those nerves.

@nesik: ok! But my itching also I can tolerate. It's just m worried that if I do something wrong and hurt myself I mean my stitches unintentionally. I want to go out and play with my baby but sometimes I get so tired within few minutes and feel to go on bed :((((

My incision looks completely healed, I'm almost 8 weeks postpartum, it looked ugly the first 3 weeks, I had staples not stitches, maybe the healing process is different with stitches, my incision is also numb and sometimes itchy on top but its normal due to little nerves in the skin were cut during the surgery, nerves take a lot of time to heal, my Dr didn't give me any lotion either not the first time and not this time, maybe its something u have to ask about if itching becomes severe?

@nesik: thanks dear! Incision looks like healed and joined together but it looks ugly to me and skin colour is a bit darker, also just right up on incision the skin is completely numb. Sometimes I feel very itchy n here doctors don't give any lotion to apply on stitches. How about you?

[nesik]

Don't worry, if its just one drop u should be fine, maybe a drop of blood was just trapped in between healing tissues and with u moving it came out now. How is your incision now?

@tomorrow264: thanks! Yes I thought so to observe it for couple of days and then go to doctor, and m really happy that it didn't happen again so I just hope that it will be fine.

Just take it easy and keep an eye on it. If it starts to smell funny or produce puss then you need to get checked out because it could be infected.

No it wasn't heavy bleeding it was just a spot of brownish blood on my nickers and then I asked my hubby to check my stitches as I can't see it properly. So it's just one stitch where it's ending, rest of the stitches are fine? I m really worried :((((

[nesik]

Did it bleed a lot? If just a little and it stopped already then I wouldn't worry, plus there's no redness, was it dark or bright red like fresh blood?
