Doesn't sound hilarious hun, these things can panic you when your pg.
Has your midwife, GP or consultant said anything about it being too soon? If not, it's fine. I assume they've all seen the scar and that your MW sees it every 4wks or so - make sure you tell her how you're worried next time. There's a huge amount of bloodflow to the area, plus the skin stretching, it's not surprising it's changing. Scars don't burst through pregnancy, there is a small chance of them rupturing during labour though which, fingers crossed, you won't have to worry about.
Good luck and try not to worry.

You do need to get this looked at, if only for your piece of mind.

My scar was very close to rupturing with my last baby and is very serious. I was being prepped for an emergency section under GA but fortunately pushed him out in 7 minutes.

Do bear in mind that NAB3 was in labour at the timeGin.

Of course.

It hadn't been sewn up properly and came open/apart three times before I had it resutured privately when the baby was 15 months old. It wasn't a problem with my next baby but it was with the one after that.

I found my C-section scar got irritated from the clothes I was wearing. Once I started wearing maternity pants it helped, but I agree with everyone that it's best to get it checked out.
