C section incision

For those that have had a c section, how long is your incision scar? Mine seems to be very long, like 10 inches or so. I thought they were only supposed to be like 6-8 inches.

Mine are about 9 inches, although I have had 6 (expecting my 7th). The first few were around about 6-8 inches, therefore my doctor had to move a bit more over to one side with my last incision. How long ago did you have a  C-section? A fresh scar may seem much larger and longer then it actually will be after it heals.
