Anyone got adhesions from c section?

I had my second section a couple of days ago, straight after the surgeon told me that my bladder was stuck to my womb and she kept saying "it's very low down" not really sure what was low down, my womb or bladder and didn't ask as I was still high as a kite.
She also said she would advised leaving 16 months before another pregnancy.
Should I expect problems in the future if my womb and bladder are stuck together?
Thanks

Hi! I was told
The exact same after my second section! From what I can understand, adhesions are stringy bits that form as a part of healing - some people get more than others.
Cant really do much about them from what father but massaging your scar can help reduce them.

I have them - 2 X sections. On my second one, they told me after that the scar + adhesion combo meant that I'd be unable to VBAC if we went for 3. For other reasons, they strongly recommended against a third and we were fine to stay with 2.

They are most noticeable when I ovulate or start my period - cramps radiate more, I guess because it's all glued together in there. No other problems!

Thanks both. Could this not cause issues like endometriosis to form or am I totally wrong there ??

Yes I don't plan on anymore anyways. Would the surgeon have fixed it or left it? She didn't actually say!
