I had a csection 6 months ago and the skin on my incision feels thin like if i poke hard enough it will indent.is this normal and will my skin thicken?

Give it more time: It can take up to a year to get 100% of your normal tissue strength back and so give it time. It's normal and it will thicken. In the meantime, maintain good circulatory health by exercising and not smoking. Good luck!
