Is itching after a c-section normal?

How long after the section and where is the itching? I got terrible itching when the spinal was wearing off, which is normal. My incision site also itched has it was healing, which is also normal.

the itching is on the incision site and its now 6 months after. am as well thinking of getting pregnat again cos i lost the baby. Is it safe?

I am sorry for your loss. My itching went on for about 3 months after both of my sections. If you are considering getting pregnant again I would definately talk to your doctor first. There are those who have had no problems with another pregnancy so soon after the c-section, but given that you are still having the itching, which I would associate with the healing process, I would say talk to your doctor. That's my 2 cents anyway. I'd hate to see you put added strain on the wound if it isn't done healing, but I can certainly understand your desire to try again.

Thanks for your concern JulieK, it is appreciated. i will consult my doctor as you advised, though he told me earlier that after 6months i can start trying for another pregnancy but i will still go to him to know how am feeling. thanks once again. Stay blessed
