C section recovery

Hey! I had a emergency C section in June, baby ended up in Intensive care and well let's say I was majorly let down by the hospital and had to do a lot of moving around ! I ended up with an infection in the wound in the hospital and then 9 days later when I came home the stitches popped due to not being given the right meds. The scar is quite thick and sore and itchy at times, though it has healed, just wondered if anyone can recommend a cream or magical spell to help 🤣 x Thank you in advance ☺️

Sorry to hear that happened. Order silicone tape for c section scars on Amazon and either see a specialist physio to learn c-section scar massage or see if there’s a video on YouTube. Good luck ✨

Thank you hun

I used Dermatix silicone gel as this was recommended by my consultant and after I finished one tube I am now using The Repair Treatment by Luna Daily. It's not silicone-y but a really nice texture to moisturise and massage the scar. My physio said that massaging after a warm shower with a cream/lotion is the best to soften the scar tissue. I'm to busy/lazy/tired to do it every day but I'll do it 3-4 times a week

Thank you Astrid 😊

Itchiness in the scar area is a sign of nerve regeneration so whilst annoying it does mean your nerves are restitching and sensation is coming back online ☺️ tapping it hard helps, itching won’t work as it’s not a real itch it’s nerve signals. Tapping confuses the nerve endings and distracts your brain xx

I haven’t used any scar products but I was told if I did ever get keloid and had another section, they literally cut all that thick scarring out and reseal. I’ve seen lots of mums on here say scar 2 is better and neater than scar 1. If that helps xx
