c/s- the AFTER effects that you never knew
Ok Im sick to death of hearing how c/s are bad ect and no-one listening.
Im hear to say that NO I didnt have a choice in matter - like many other woman dont.
Im hear to tell you my side effects of having 4 c/s and a tubual reversal.
No its not glamorous, beautiful or pretty. Its disgusting!
I have a tummy that has no feeling in it. I can get a pin and ***** it and not feel it. This is due to my nerves being cut and damaged for my c/s. Do you know how horrible it is for your son to say
mummy your bleeding on your tummy
only to look down and see a pin in 1 cm and not feel it.
My tummy also hangs dramitically down over my woo hoo area. The medical term for this is called an apron. I call it a GUNT. It is annoying to have to pile this amount of flappy skin into a pair of trousers or underwear without having a tummy that looks box shaped or overly discorted. Also, the first place I put weight on is in my tummy and it sticks out half amile...almost looks like 2 tummies.
My muscles are also damaged in this region due to my c/s so even doing sit ups wont give me a nice flat tummy or strentghen this area. Jelly on a plate...yep thats my tummy.
My scar also gets sore on a hot day as my darling GUNT doesnt allow for airflow and the build up of sweat lingers. Nappy rash on your tummy is not a nice thing to have...nor is the lovely disgusting smell that comes with it
My scar hurts at the best of times and can get quiet itchy. Not a nice thing to be seen doing when your shopping I can tell you. I also get a bit of pulling on my right hand side if im not careful, I can feel the pain and heat from the pulling on the inside.
So if you think a c/s is a fab way to go...think again. My last one was 4 months ago and I still have these problems. they dont just disapear magically at the 6 week mark, they are with me for life. Its something that I wouldnt wish upon anyone.
maz will get off her soap box now
