pain in lower abdomen at 12 weeks pregnant near c-section scar

in C-sections
Okay repeat c-sectioners...I have had 3 c-sections and am currently almost 12 weeks pregnant with #4. I am having sharp pains (different than RLP ) in my lower abdomen near my c-section scar, as well as the "hot spot" feelings that I typically get as I heal from a c-section. My last c-section was just over 2 years ago.  Has anyone else experienced these types of pain in pregnancies following your c-sections? This has never happened to me before and is quite painful. My next appt is in a week and I will be discussing it with my dr.

    My external scar and what feels like the scar tissue in my uterus have hurt off and on throughout my second and third pregnancies. (Both of my first deliveries were c/s and this one will be as well.) It's normal for the scar tissue to hurt as it stretches, so what you're feeling is probably normal.

    This was a surprise, but my dr. doesn't seem concerned. In fact, at my yearly exam in October he asked me if we were planning on #4 and I told him no. He didn't caution me after I had my 3rd csection against having any more children. I would have a serious heart to heart with your dr. if you really want more than 3 children. It isn't impossible to have more than 3, but I have read that after 3 c-sections there can be more complications, so maybe that is what he is referring to. I  am trying not to read too much b/c at this point it doesn't matter, it has to happen and VBAC would not be an option for me.

    Thanks for telling me this. I was assuming it was, but never thought about it being an issue since it hadn't been before. I go to the dr on Friday and will discuss it with him. It is pretty uncomfortable at times!
