I had my first c-section 5 months ago. This was my fourth child. I still feel alot of tenderness and am completly numb from my belly button down the middle to my right. I tried the post natal exercises, I have tried on the ball and have tried crunches. I could not feel any calories burning and could not pull my self up. Is this normal? I never had any problems like this before I had the c-section. I am very concerned my doctor could have cut into my nerve endings and /or my muscle tissue. When I were and kind of pants or shorts any thing that snaps or clips over with a zipper in front really hurts and is very uncomfortable. Has anyone experienced any thing like what I am experiencing? My doctor told me after two months from my surgery it would be like this for awhile. But for how long?

Darlene, I had a "C" done 11 weeks ago. I have the numbness and pain also, but not horribly. My Dr said average time is 6 months, but could take a year, even more to go away completely.

all my pain went away after the first week, but to touch around the incision, 4 wks later it is still numb. Im not sure how long is normal for that to last.But also you have to think it is major surgery so..

I just had my second C-section 3 weeks ago today. I still have a little pain and numbness. After the first cesarian I had slight tenderness for about a year. That was after nearly 20 hrs of labor. My doctor said emergency cersarians can take longer to heal. This one was planned, so we'll see. Good luck.

well it has been 17 months since my second C-section and the feeling is finally returning. It was tender for a while but I think it was worse with my first C-section (twins) and it did go away eventually. Hang in there!
