Previous c/s and fetal movement

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

Just wondering if other mama's out there are experiencing this too.  I had my c/s 2 years ago.  I still do not have feeling back from my scar up to my belly button.  I am 22 weeks now, and have been feeling a lot of movement from the baby, but nothing in that area yet.  I have confirmed via ultrasound that my placenta is posterior.  I didn't think the numbness would carry through that far!  Anyone else not feel movement just because of residual scar numbness?

It could just be early or depend on where the baby is hanging out. I'm almost 30w and it was really only 4-5 weeks ago that I started feeling a ton of movement all over and regularly. I have had previous c-sections but I do feel movement down low.

There's definitely movement in that area.  If I put my hand on my belly, I can feel it there in my hand.  I just can't feel it in my belly.  Only below the scar.  I'm assuming that once the fundus grows enough above the numb part, I'd feel it there too. I find this very odd - to feel movement in my hand, but not in my belly!  It should be the other way around!
