C-section with #1 mommas....

Im having a weird pain where my c-section scar is.  Almost like the incision feels only weeks old instead of months old (4 months actually).  I have slight cramping but it feels normal, and my incision looks okay.  I guess Im afraid I might "split open" I think I may call the dr on Monday if it still feels the same.. Anyone else have this sensation when preggers with number #2?  Thanks!

    Yes. I asked my dr and he said it was normal. It went away in 2nd tri.

    Ditto! Maybe once the uterus moves above that area it stops irritating it? IDK, but this was definitely true for me, too (so far, anyway).

    I asked the OB too.

    Here's how she explained it:

    Imagine the incision - it went thru skin, fat, muscle and the uterus.

    As it heals scar tissue forms on each one of those layers.

    As those areas grow and stretch with a subsequent pregnancy that scar tissue is literally ripped apart.

    The more fair skinned a person is the denser their scar tissue tends to be. 

    What you're feeling is totally normal.

     

    Our IF journey: 1 m/c, 1 IVF with only 3 eggs retrieved yielding Dylan and a lost twin, 1 shocker unmedicated BFP resulting in Jace, 3 more unmedicated pregnancies ending in more losses.
    Total score: 6 pregnancies, 5 losses, 2 amazing blessings that I'm thankful for every single day.

    I'm so glad you asked this question! I have been having the same thing and was beginning to wonder if it was normal, so glad to know it's common!

    I had that in 3rd tri. I would bring it up at your next appt so that they are at least aware of it... even if it does go away.

    I had to have a repeat c/s b/c of the risk of rupturing my incision. <-per Dr.'s notes post-surgery
