Pulling sensation 9 months after EMCS - normal??

4 replies

I had a c section 9 months ago and still at times I can feel a pulling sensation near the incision. I usually feel it when I've been carrying my baby a lot or I'd say I've been pushing the pushchair uphill. Does this sound normal? I am hoping to try for another baby soon and would like to try for a VBAC but I'm wondering if I've healed properly from the c section last year.

P.S. it's not painful and doesn't restrict my movement at all, I would just say a bit uncomfortable

Yep, I've had two sections and will be having a third soon.

I get this sensation whenever I have a hard cough or sneeze or occasionally if I've been bending or exercising too much. I've been told by others that it's normal but. I did have a lot of scar tissue following my first C/S (according to the surgeon who did the second one).

I still get this occasionally 2 years on from my c-section. It’s very normal OP but if you are hoping to try for another baby & a VBAC, it’s something you can discuss with a consultant nearer the time for advice tailored to you & how your c-section went for your first birth.
