Is there anything I need to know? Should I be worried about my incision at all as my belly expands?
I'm not really worried about the next c-section…from what I've heard, the 2nd time around recovery is a bit easier. Plus I'll have tons of help because my parents are both retired and live like 10 minutes away.
Anything else I should know?
Re: Pregnancy after c-section
I recall no additional soreness or pain with my second pregnancy because of the scar and scar tissue. However, this time around there have been days when I have pain around my c-section scar. My doctor said at one point that the baby's head was right on the old scar tissue. But it was not severe pain - just wanted a heating pad - and l went to work and functioned like normal. She shifted and the soreness passed. Every now and again, I've had a day or a moment where I feel like she must be putting pressure on the scar, and it's sore, but again, it's not affecting my activities. I've had absolutely zero pregnancy complications, either time, due to my scar or scar tissue.
Big brother and sister are excited to meet the new baby! It's a GIRL!
