    Caesarean Scar Images Gallery

    I came across this link from the site caesarean.co.uk and thought I would share it considering the amount of c/s scar questions that pop up.

    The website makers are collecting images of caesarean scars so you can see a variety of scars over various time frames (soon after c/s to years after) so you can see how they fade etc. You can even contribute your own images.

    Healed scars looked ok though. I think it's good (although a bit scary) putting up ones that weren't healing so well in case you wanted to compare or were unsure if it was ok or not.

    Thanks so much Kelly, I saw these when you posted on FB a while ago and just sat and thought if ONLY I had this too look at in the early days, to know that how my scar looked was NORMAL!

    ausgirl, they can seem ugly but please remember that they are part of someones body now, and something most people are very sensitive and self-conscious about.

    I get that Leasha, and I certainly wouldn't be so insensitive to say that to anyone IRL - I guess my real point was, csect has long been glamourised as the 'easy' way to have a baby, that leaves you 'intact' and 'looking normal' , to someone who's never had anyone close have one, this brings a greater sense of reality of just how unglamourise it can actually be.
