2nd pregnancy c section scar aches

5 replies

So it's my second pregnancy and I'm 25 weeks

My first was an emergency c section. Never had any problems with the scar, in fact you wouldn't even know it was there (surgeon did an amazing job to be fair!)

However I'm now getting aches / heaviness I suppose around where my scar is.

It's fine sitting still but walking / moving around it can feel a little uncomfortable. Did anyone else have this? Any solutions?

Sorry OP, I’ve never had this. Could be you’re carrying really low? I’m not sure sorry. Probably mention it to your midwife at your 28 weeks appointment.

I'm not sure, I feel like she's definitely got higher over the last couple of weeks but it just feels awkward and like tugging when I'm walking etc

Our trust doesn't give numbers for our midwife so I'd have to cal triage which seems dramatic.

On the flip side my job involves a fair amount of walking / driving / carrying equipment around

I'm 24 weeks with my second after a c-section and I don't have that but my scar is itchy quite a lot which is very annoying

@dogmum00 it's so weird because my scar is so neat and tidy and I've never had any issues plus good recovery. It's not itchy at all either, although I can imagine that's really irritating!

Just feels uncomfortable and starting to verge on the side of pain as such. There is no info online for this though - only info about uterine rupture
