Interesting I had never heard of this. I had a c-section almost 4 years ago and have not experienced these sensations. Here I am touching and feeling the scar today and it feels normal to me. I guess I should count my lucky stars if this in fact happens to many women. Thanks for posting this info I always learn something new everyday here on the forum.
