My Caesarean Scar says...

[Me+him+bub]

mine currently says " I will remain only a scar and not become another incision in 14 weeks time"

to all of you who need them when thinking about your scar.

My c/s scar says "hello" every morning and is like a little smile on my belly - saying this belly grew 2 gorgeous girls and they needed to come out here to grow up in the world.

Thinking of it looking like a smile.....

I got out of the shower one day and DP looks at me and stares. So I asked 'what'. And he goes ... ." You look like a face!" "What?"

And he says .... "Your boobs are the eyes, your belly button is the nose and your c/s scar is the mouth!!"

And then adds while laughing uncontrollably "Your pubes are the goatie!!!"

My pelvis still says, four years on, you should never have had a VB with DD1.

My (elective) caesarean scar from DD2 says, "thank goodness you were sensible second time around and actually have a life now and you can walk without being in constant pain." I actually look on my scar as a badge of honour - that I was brave enough to go through a second pregnancy at all. How I gave birth doesn't matter to me. I completely understand and respect that others look on their scars differently and have different stories, but for me, it makes me extremely proud.

yeah that! Ditto to what fionas said.

My elective cs scar says I made a wonderful, brave decision to preserve what I have, for quality of life with my children.
I went in on crutches. 12 hours later I was on my own two feet.

My body bears scars from a VB and a CS, and I am truly blessed to have been through two very beautiful and very VERY different births. My body will never be the same and maybe that's as it should be? My life will never be the same either, and for that I am truly grateful.
