I wont rush to get the measuring tape -my scar starts and stops with my pubic hair, guess we are probably all a little different with our measurements there!

My caesarean was an emergency. As it was almost 8 years ago it's a very fine line but even in the hospital, the midwives commented on the lovely stitching.

At the time I was completely devastated. My baby was in intensive care due to a meconium aspiration, so that no doubt added to the unpleasant experience. When I look back now, I wonder why I made such a fuss.

One vivid memory is the catheter. It never occurred to me that there was such a thing and when I became conscious of it, I wanted it out. I wont be so eager to do that again because then I had to get out of the bed to go to the loo! The other funny thing was having to get the mother-in-law to go and by me some huge undies.
