Yeah I was numb - but the muscles still need to stitch themselves back together - and therefore the nerves are messed around with - and thats why you feel numb - I don't think its a case of whether you were cut or not. I remember it clearly with my first c-section because I could distinctly feel him pulling the muscles apart (and it was confirmed on my birth video).

I had my first section in January 2007 and my second in August 2008. Hopefully I won't have to have another one to comment on though
my first was in 96, then 2000, then in 2006. Next im predicting will be 2010
