I don't want to sound glib, but your scar is evidence of what you have given to the world, that you have created new life. That is amazing. And you should be able to wear your scar with pride. It's like stretch marks - they should be a badge of honour for all mothers. (But that does come from someone who has no such scar, nor stretch marks, (as I have given no new life to the world) so perhaps it's easy for me to say). Just a thought...
