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.

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
