For other STM/TTM who've had a c-section in the past... do you have pain where your scar is? I kind of figured there'd be some, and it's not overwhelming but definitely like, "Oh, well that hurts a bit." Mostly internal. I've heard that the scar tissue can bind your uterus to your bladder, too? Didn't know if anyone else had anything similar happen or if I should get more serious about talking to my doctor about it.

I had mines 8 years ago. There is pain in the beginning but it goes away. The area is a little sensitive but not really painful. When I get my bikini wax that area always hurts. Besides that it's fine. I don't know about the scar tissue binding your uterus and bladder.
I wouldn't call it pain per se, but I've definitely noticed some stretching of the area over the past couple of weeks or so. I've had some issues with my bladder since my c/s in that it gets painful if my bladder gets too full. My doctor said that having a big baby can exacerbate bladder problems, so that could be part of my problem.
I saw my doctor for pain around the incision before getting pregnant and again recently. They're concerned that my internal incision from my csection herniated and will get worse throughout this pregnancy. They plan to correct it during our repeat csection.

My c section was 13 months ago, and I definitely still have pain internally where the incision was. I doesn't really feel uterine (if that's a thing), more like the nerves below the skin where the incision was. No real stretching. If that pain is unbearable, I would call my doctor asap.
my c-sect was 4 years ago, and just recently i've definitely felt some stretching/pain in the area, almost felt like it was ripping open again LOL but thankfully dr google tells me this is normal haha!

Glad to know I'm not alone! Pulling is a good word for what I feel is happening 85% of the time. The pain is only occasionally and closer to RLP, I suppose it could be a combination of both!

I had one 5yrs ago, and I have not had any pain or stretching sensations or anything thus far. I have had round ligament pains of course but none where my actual scar is located. I have known other women that definitely have! Crossing fingers that I stay pain free in that area.
My cs was just over 2 years ago, I really hadn't had any pain from it for probably the past 18-20 months. Every now and then, with this preyancy, I get a twinge of pain internally. Not sure if it's from the internal scar or just normal stretching and growing.
