my first c-section was 10 years ago. and I just had my second c-section 5 weeks ago. and I developed a staph infection 3 weeks after. will this benefit me? and I am experiencing the lower back pain already.
I never understand why people say c sections are an “easy” way or something. I’ve had two natural births and while they were hard I honestly think c section mummas are so amazing and strong!! The recovery is so much harder on them too! I would be absolutely petrified to have a c section and would be the one to be having a panic attack so anyone who can go through that to deliver their baby into this world is like a wonder woman to me!!
Keloid and so much itch after 3 years for me. I went to a Dermatologist and paid $80 for him to tell me to use maderma. LOL. It still itches. Round two in progress and going to try for a VBAC! Thanks for sharing your story.:)

It is the best thing I have seen so thank you! I could not do it 1 month after C sectin, but now I am gratefull. How many times should I do the movements?
Hi, thanks for this, I’ll start once I’m 8 weeks post op, hopefully by then inflammation would have gone down…right now I’m 5 weeks post op and my scar is healing well, but I still have a lot of inflammation on my belly and around my scar. I wanted to know if it helps with the c-section pouch or shelf I was left with after my operation?

My experience was absolutely terrifying! My daughter was 5 weeks prem and I went into labour naturally. About an hour into consistent contractions her heart rate was getting super high. They decided on an emergency c-section right away as they thought she had a severe infection which was causing her heart rate to Climb so fast then decel then back etc it got up to 200bpm. They rushed me down to the operating room and said they didn’t have time for. Normal epidural type c-section I had to go under a General. It was so scary, so I missed my babies birth and my husband couldn’t be there either. I woke up and met her about 3 hours later and I tell you what waking up not knowing if your baby was ok or not was the most terrifying experience. She did end up having sepsis so she was very sick but she is fighter and is doing amazing now at 9 months. I still think natural births are much nicer recovery wise after having two natural but both are definitely a birth I don’t care what anyone says. A baby is still coming out of your body!!
**thank you!** I’ve been having bladder irritation/increased frequency post-laparotomy and feel like I have to pee even when I just have if I try to lie on my side… my gyno and GP didn’t have an explanation and tests haven’t shown anything. Scar tissue! Of course. I have been massaging, but not frequently enough and not the third layer. I will try this and hopefully it helps!
Keep this up ladies… I’ve just had my c section scar revised, which was “grossly disfiguring” after putting up with it for twenty years. I had it fixed during a TAH. I’m 6 weeks post surgery and will use scar massage this time to make sure it doesn’t happen again
Hi Lynn, I actually had no idea on what to do with my scar.I am diabetic pregnancy.After delivery I was being massage by an indonesian woman and I really doubt on her massaging my scar…After watching your video I am glad that I can diy myself…Thank you so much for creating this video…Yes my doctor in my country does not revealed on this massaging scar everytime I went back for checkup.
Asallam.u.Allikum hello… I have a c section one month ago n I have not had a full body massage yet. Is it necessary to have full body massage after C section
Thank you so much for sharing this! I had my first c section 6 weeks ago and my incision feels really tight almost like I can’t stand up straight all the way like it’s pulling. My back has been very achy (upper and lower) and when I go for a walk, my upper back in particular is really aches. I tried to run a few steps to see how it feels and it felt like I couldn’t fully extend my body, it kind of felt like I was running while folded in half, if that makes sense. Do you think this is adhesion related or should I be concerned with something else? Thank you for any insight!
Kind of wish I hadn’t watched this:-( i didn’t know about the fact that they remove your uterus and now I’m super freaked out by c-sections when i wasn’t before:(
Hello I’ve had 2 csections that formed a ton of scar and fibrosis tissue. My scar was depressed and painful even 7 years later. I just recently had surgery to get this removed. I now have a 7 inch incision. Much like a new c-section incision. I am at 3 weeks post op but have a lot of inflammation. Can I still massage my incision or do I need to wait for the inflammation to go down first? Thank you
My scar is exactly like yours after 10 months except a bit crooked n I feel it through clothes…. used to think I did something wrong during recovery….this video helped,
Just had my third c section. None were planned although my last one wasn’t going to be a natural one but she came early. It hurts. And I hate hate hate it when people say it is the easy way out. I have heard it and it makes my blood boil. It is NOT easy. It is scary. But all worth it. My kids are my world
My story is a lil different i went to get out the van and almost fall and it caused a ruptured membrane. Was induced and it didn’t work,my baby was in distress after 28 hours. My scar is raised a little more than yours and i hate feeling it or my husband touching it but still afraid to get rid of it. Thank you. The video really helped
Everybody can’t afford that…how about better procedures during the sew up on the table after delivery of the baby…or how about session included with delivery for those that have a c section with a massage therapist or pt that specializes with the scar tissue after a section…this video was not realistic or fair and all of us that feel the shame and emotional distress like this woman can’t be “treated” to this procedure and I’m in Michigan also and suffering after 3 c sections to deliver 3 boys…and I can’t afford that so now what ()
I got a wax a few months ago and it hurts near the keloid scar. Bad! Very tender. I couldn’t deal. My scar always hurts. Especially after I eat and I feel bloated. My son also steps on my stomach and that area. So I thought it didn’t heal right and it was just me. Good to know it isn’t!
I wish there was a video like this when I had my c-section 7 years ago. Now my scar is flat but it still itches. Now 7 years later and 2 more kids and another on the way and didn’t need another c-section for my other 2 and not going having one this time either
