Second c-section experiences and scars?

Just wondering how people have found their second c-section, was it done in the same place as your old scar? Was the recovery harder? Does the scar look particularly worse? Any issues with overhang compared to the first? I'm nervous!

The scar is in the same place so don’t worry. I don’t know what overhang situation will be like as I had my second c section literally got pregnant after had the first. only really getting back into shape now many years later.

recovery was far easier second time around but maybe as it was planned rather than my first which was after a long labour and no sleep for nearly two nights

try not to worry !! When are you due

My scar was in the same place and I have found recovery easier each time (I’ve had 3) I think you know what to expect and what to do to help yourself. I’ve exercised and ate well through my pregnancies and I don’t really have an overhang. I have a tiny, probably 2cmish “lip” over my scar but that’s it. Can’t tell even with just pants on.
