Had a c section a month ago. Had my scar checked last week and doc said it was all good. Today it is itching and I want to scratch it. Of course I won't but just wondered if this was normal? I remember when I had scabs/scars as a child and it itched my mum would say it's getting better -is this true or an old wives tale? Scar looks healthy enough.
Thanks.
 
:wave:

Mines a bit like that too...I mentioned it to the HV and she said it was normal and had healed well.

Hth :D
 
I think it's caused by the scar slowly shrinking and pulling in more. I'm pretty sure I had it too.
 
yeah thats normal if you want to scratch it i found the best thing was to use the shower head against it was sheer bliss when i did it.
 
yeah it itches when its healing, mine sometimes itches now.
 
yes its normal hun i used to use my shower puff to scratch mine it was bliss :D obviously once it was healed enough
mine still itches now and again and i had it 9 months ago xxxxxx
 
Just been told by HV that itching is good....means it's healing.
:D
