Reply Contact   ha ha that is what my mom said.. to have a tattoo of a zipper put over it.  I said 'no way, cause I don't want that zipper opened again!'  :)   I hate mine because of the memories connected to it.  It has been a year, maybe it will pass one day.

  Re: I hate... Reply Contact Oh HUGS Christie!  I hate mine too, and I'm terrified of having another.  I'm not sure yet how I'm going to prepare myself for this.  I can only keep telling myself that it's just what I have to do to get my babies here safely.  I have found peace with the fact that my scars are necessary, but I'm still working towards finding some peace and calmness for the delivery of my boys.  For me, the sadness from Callie's birth experience still hasn't gone away, but it has faded so much.  The only thing left that reminds me of it at all is my scar.

  Re: I hate... Reply Contact  I don't hate my scar, but I do hate the fact that it is from multiple c-sections. Only the first was necessary. You can barely see mine so tattooing it wouldn't be worth it but I think I almost think I would prefer the red, raised, crooked, ugly mess that it was after my first section, rather than the way it is now where the doctors afterwards obviously took care to pretty it up. The ugly one would be a nice reminder to appreciate my son even more because he almost didn't make it. Instead, it's a reminder that I will have to keep myself out of hospitals if I want to avoid a c-section.

  Re: I hate... Reply Contact I would have loved to have been able to have vaginal deliveries.  I can't let myself think about that, though, can't dwell on it.  I am thankful that my boys were brought safely into this world, and a section was the only way that that was going to be possible all 3 times, so I've got to say that I'm thankful for sections and for the drs.' skill.  I don't know if it's the scar that I hate or my whole stretched out tummy.  But they were definitely worth it and I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat.  (((((((hugs)))))))) for you, Christie.

Reply Contact  I can feel mine most of the time.  Even tingly, stabbing pains sometimes.  I can feel the hardness of the scar.  I have seeing it while having sex.  Most of all it is a reminder of bad decisions that I made.  I hate that I was cut through.  I can't touch it without getting the heeby jeebies.... like nails on a chalk board.

  Re: I hate... Reply Contact  oh I can barely see it but I still know that it is there.  I have never had surgery though so I really don't like the scar or the feeling of the scar tissue inside.  TERRY2284389: ChristieBFAP:  I can feel mine most of the time.  Even tingly, stabbing pains sometimes.  I can feel the hardness of the scar.  I have seeing it while having sex.  Most of all it is a reminder of bad decisions that I made.  I hate that I was cut through.  I can't touch it without getting the heeby jeebies.... like nails on a chalk board.    you must have had a bad surgeon ... i have to REALLY look to even see my scar
