Multiple c-sections

lnh2008

I'm having my 3rd c-section in May.  Right now my 2nd scar (2nd because my doctor made another incision!!!!) is itching and burning.  Is this normal?  Background - my 1st c-section was 2000 and 2nd c-section 2010.  I'm guessing it was fully healed because I didn't have this type of pain last time.  Just curious.

From what I've been told that is common while it's stretching out.

Yup - it happened to me with both of my pregnancies after my initial c-section. 

(I also have two different scars.  For some reason my OB made a different scar for my third baby even though the first incision site was used for both of my girls.  I guess there was too much scar tissue...?)

Yup, it's normal.

Yes I had that too.  I have had 3 c/s now and all in the same spot.  Each time the Dr has told me they are cutting out the old scar basically and then stitching up again... I would definitely ask if they could avoid a 3rd scar!
