Anybody else feel a stinging or pulling feeling around one or more of your lap rny scars?  Mine just started today with one that is above the bellybutton on the right side.  Its fine when sitting, its just when I stand up or lay down a certain way.  I am guessing its just the uterus growing around the scar tissue or the skin stretching...but I dunno.

Also...when your breasts start leaking colostrum.....everything I have read says it looks yellowish...mine have started leaking, but its more clear than yellow.  Would that be colostrum or an infection?  I see the doc on Monday, so I'll ask him too...but I thought I'd ask.

That's definately early colostrum. The color can vary from person to person.

As far as the incisional pain goes, that's just the skin and scar tissue stretching. It's not fun, but it's normal.

yay....yeah I thought I was gonna spray myself this morning...>LOL...so weird.

Yeah, I was pretty sure it was the scar stretching...hurts...but not so bad that I'm gonna be a baby about it.  I'm sure a different one will start hurting/stinging/stretching with time.

I feel the stretching feeling with my scar near my panty line...bottom of my tummy tuck...and in the last week/week 1/2 my  belly button (the one they created during my TT) is not shut...so I imagine it's like those ppl that have theirs pop, my just closed...doesn't hurt to bad, but can feel funny...

Hope all is well at your appt on Monday.

my scar feel like it's being stretched out. that and my old stretch marks have been itchy as hell... my belly is getting huge just below my boobs now. I have scratch marks on my belly from scratching while sleeping at night now... I had to cut my nails down to nothing so I wont...next step is the moisturizer gloves while sleeping...lol  and you already got the answer on colostrum...lol

I like putting vitamin E oil on my entire belly- especially on my scars- it helps a lot with itching and, believe it or not, some of the discomfort from stretching. I get shoots of strange not really pain but discomfort around mine, but the Vitamin E oil has helped. Can't help with the colostrum- never had it!

The pulling - Most likely adhesions.

Colostrum - Mine was always clear with every baby except with my 4th it was more clear with a little bit of milky creamy color.
