? for c section mamas.....

jasonsgirl78

My son is 22 months born via c section and I had no complications with healing. I am currently 15 weeks pregnant and I have noticed that the normal growing/stretching pains seem to be a LOT more painful this time around. It is hurting in my back, hips and down my legs even--and it is worse when I am moving around doing normal activities. I've been seen by the OB and had an ultrasound last week and everything looks great. 

My question---has anyone else experienced this? Were your growing pains worse during the pregnancy after your c-section? TIA

You sure its not sciatic nerve pain your feeling? I had that almost this entire pregnancy (my 2nd, after c-section, son is 18m and I am 32w pregnant). It's a sharp pain in your lower back top of your butt like almost feels as if it's inside your pelvis and it goes down your leg. It happens when the nerve gets pinched or w.e from the growing uterus.

yes they were.  I had terrible leg pain, etc.  It could be sciatica like mentioned above.

It's like an achy feeling in mid back down into my lower abdomen/groin and into my thighs--like sore muscles. I'm pretty sure it's the ligaments from what I could find on the internet. It just wasn't this painful with my other pregnancies

That is what I had.  My thighs were the worst everyday starting around 24 weeks with both pregnancies.  It felt like I worked out everyday.  ugh.
