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!

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.

yes this!
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
