Hi everyone

I've just found out I'm pregnant I'm around 6 weeks
My little boy is only 7 months old I'm really happy as wanted another baby so they would be close

I had to have an emergency c section due to not dilating and baby was in distress and his cord wrapped around his neck
I'm now worried what will happen with my scar will I have pain during this pregnancy
And what it will be like having another c section
I was told I'd have have another section as I wouldn't fit a baby out

All help and advise would be great tia

Hello! I know everyone is different but I had an emergency caesarean with my son in December 2019 and I'm currently 33+ weeks with twins (so bigger than I was full term with my 8lb10oz son!). I have had no pain whatsoever in my scar! It honestly hasn't bothered me at all. Super normal straight forward pregnancy 😊
Best of luck!

My recovery from my second section was no different to my first. Only that I knew better what to expect, and 2nd time round it was planned and not emergency which was better for my state of mind!
