awee congrats & good luck mammaa !!  

I'm having my 3rd c-section on the 14th!! Even though I've been through it twice before I'm still very nervous!! Recovery for me wasn't too bad, but I also had a lot of help. Will you have extra help?

My scar is 14 months old and its bit bad at all. It's just flat and light.

I had my daughter 4 years ago, but my incision is very low... My swimming suit bottoms and underwear cover it. It's also very light. It was pretty red for a while maybe a year or so but it does eventually lighten up to where it's barely noticable. And be aware of getting ingrown hairs on your incision that are pretty painful, I got those a lot at first but now that's it's healed I rarely get them.

ingrown hairs are the worst, and not to mention the itching, oh it drives you mad!!! It's not even an itch you can reach, it's somewhere under the surface and drives a person insane. I did find a little relief with hydrocortisone on occasion.
My scar is all but invisible after 4 years, it can be completely hidden by my underwear and if I let my hair grow, lol. Although, nothing will hide the slight bump that I believe is called the c-shelf, oh well, can't have everything.

Haha yes the itch that you can't itch is a pain!! Ive always had a slight in dent where my scar is but nothing that's bad or really noticable.

I forgot to mention this maybe it's TMI but you need to hear it now...be mindful of what you eat after your surgery. It takes a while for your digestion to get back to normal. Try to avoid foods that can constipate, because the first time you have to have a bowel movement....its like laying a damn egg. Make sure you get some colace to take with your pain meds to help soften things up. Again, so sorry for the TMI

You're not supposed to have her vaginally right? I would get you checked out honestly.
