Moms of 1+ C-sections- advice needed!

DawnJM25 · June 2012

I'm about 10 weeks along and just had my first ultrasound today. I saw a healthy fetus with a beating heart (yay!) BUT, the radiologist also saw a sac with some scar tissue that he assumes is left from my previous C-section. He referred me to an OB specialist for another ultrasound. I know radiologists aren't OBs, and when I asked he couldn't even tell me a worst case scenario. He said sometimes this is nothing, but it could be cause for concern. DD is only 9 1/2 mo. DH and I hadn't planned on getting pregnant so soon- it was a big surprise!

Anyway- I'm concerned about this sac of scar tissue and what it might mean? Has anyone else had this experience? What is the worst case here?

I've had two c sections, this time will be my third. After my second my OB said there wasn't much scar tissue at all from the first time. Some people get it, some people don't. I'm not positive, but I think worst case scenario is your surgery this time will take a little longer because they have to deal with the scar tissue.

I just had my 3rd c/s in 3 years. I had some scar tissue with the 2nd so it took about 15 extra mintues to sew me up. This time I was in surgery for 1 hr 45 minutes. I did get my tubes tied but I also had a lot of scar tissue. The surgery went fine but I have been a lot more sore this time then I was after my 1st or 2nd c/s. My OB also said that if I wasn't getting my tubes tied he would have recommended us not having any more kids due to the scar tissue and my uterus was pretty thin this time.
