Thats really weird that its like "brand new" cos of all the paperwork I received for both my sections - thats how its done - by separating the muscles, and only doing the initial cut with the scalpel.

I know it was definitely like that with my first cos I've watched the video and you can see my OB pulling apart my muscles, he didn't have anything else in his hands.

I'm guessing my second OB would have done the same thing as well, but I didn't get her work on video this time round - can't remember why.

I thought that WAS the method ?
when and where did you have your c's?

Did your OB specifically tell you what method was being used? It was never explained to me this way, so I cant be sure if its the method i recieved 3 years ago or not.
