Scar

Hi everyone! I hope you can help and this is probably going to sound silly..... I am 23 weeks pregnant and growing rap3. I am worried as I have a long scar (from an operation) that goes from near the belly button and round to my side.
As my belly gets bigger is the scar likely to split? I don't know how much they expand and its not a very think scar so I'm worried there is not much skin there.
Can anyone advise or reassure me?
Thanks in advance! 😊

Very unlikely to split if it's an old scar. It could become tight and uncomfortable but if you moisturise your whole belly regularly and stay well hydrated it should help.
If you have any concerns as things progress don't hesitate to ask your midwife.
