After a c section what does it look like.

Ferrals, it is just a line about maybe 10 cm or less, low on your abdomen ( below undie line jus above pube line) . If you are slim it is unlikely you would get an infection or breakdown so don't stress. Depends on your skin whether the scar is thick or not but it usually is barely noticeable ( some people's scars overgrow I can't remember what its called keloidsomething) Its usually better than people expect. Best of luck for the 5th I bet you can't wait to meet your little girl xxx
ps get a wax before you go so the midwives don't have to use the clippers

Careful on the wax / shave... I read on the Mater Woman Website that it not advised

It is important not to shave or wax your pubic hair in the week prior to your operation as it may increase the risk of developing infected hair follicles which may cause a wound infection.

i've gotten a wax before both of mine, and no infections

A mate showed me hers at 5 weeks PP (CS) and her bod looked better than mine at 10 month PP (VB)! If your body recovers well after pregnancy, i think you will look pretty similar just with the scar that will fade.

I have a tiny line just above the top of my pubes. It is barely noticeable, if you're not looking for it you won't see it.

I would suggest that you look at c-section photos on The Shape of a Mother.
I think that every mother should look at that site at least once just as a counter-point to the air-brushed celeb mothers that we usually compare ourselves to.

I'm pretty sure I waxed prior. I certainly wasn't expecting a c-section so I did the gardening as usual.
