    Congratulations on the safe arrival fo your new bub.
    Yes my scar is still numb from my second c/s 4mths ago but I never fully regained feeling from first c/s 16mths before that. Everyone has a different network arrangement of nerves that is why there is varying degrees of numbness around the scar between individuals. It depends how the nerves are severed during the operation as to how much if any feeling will return because a nerve can only regenerate when severed if severed at a particular point. Full regeneration usually takes 12mths. If the nerve cannot regenerate then you will have permanant numbness. Massage can help as it increases blood flow and will help those nerves that can, to regenerate and I here accupuncture is worth a try which I may look into for my scar.
