Mine is about 4 inches above my pubic bone. It has faded a lot, but it is still white. Mine is about 6 inches long. It has been almost 2 years since my last c-section.

My scar is about 7 inches long and goes from my belly button down to my pubic bone.  My first scar was kind of thick (it was really bad by the end of my 3rd pregnancy), but they burned it off during my second c-section and my newer scar is much thinner.  It's been 20 months and the color has faded a bit to pretty much white.

Mine is in the same location as yours, but I've had two. It's around 5-6inches long, a pinkish color, with a hole on the left side (popped back open and then got infected after my 2nd leaving me on bed rest for 3 months after he was born).

Mine is only visible cause they had to cut through  a tattoo, so there is a white line that goes through my tattoo. Other than that you can't see it at all. Its been 4 years since my last c-section.

 I have had 2 and my scar is very small and really un-noticable right above my pubs.

Mine is above the hairline, about 5 in. and still raised. same scar for 2. It's been over 7 years, and i scar badly normally.

 my first csection scar was pencil thin/ white / smooth across and about 5 inches- not visible unless you were right on it

it has been 6 months since my 2nd csection and the scar is also very thin, white except a light pink half inch of it which i think will fade.   it is slightly wider and not smooth across in that the area around the incision seems to dip towards the scar in Some places but is smoother in others.

all in all- not a bad scar at all and ive seen some gnarly scars
