Anyone else experience a lot of intching on the tummy? I am 1 week and one day...and it is super itchy!

It's the healing...makes it itchy!

I was itchy all over while I was in the hospital. I got some IV benadryl and it helped me to sleep through the pain too. I agree with the other posters though, if you are this far out it is probably the incisions healing.

Yup. I'm itchy too. 12 days out. My husband says its a good sign cuz the wounds are healing.

Yep! It lasted about a month...

Like everybody else said - itchy is good! It definitely means healing. Just don't scratch it hard LOL. You don't want to open an incision and get an infection. Just put a blanket or something over your belly and then rub on top of your incisions with your knuckles. It helped me some. It will go away soon!
