I was wondering how much scar stretching and breakdown was considered normal in pregnancy (ie prior to labour)? Obviously none is good and holes appearing is very bad, but what is the middle ground?
I'm 16 weeks and I noticed this evening that as well as getting longer and wider, my scar has three pin prick holes, where the vertical stitches were in the middle of the horizontal line which is the scar. Not deep holes I hasten to add!
So if you can imagine I have a smiley face scar very, very low (on my pubic bone), then I used to have three vertical points scars where the pearl beads held my stitches till they were removed. Now I have the same but on the central point where the internal stitches were all pulled in (two layer suturing btw) I can once again see where the stitches were and they bled a little bit earlier.
Because of how low the scar is, my uterus is already way above the point of the scar - there is no way the baby is under that bit - frankly there is bone and nothing else. So I'm not worried it's under pressure right now, which is why I was a little surprised to find the blood.
Is this normal???? Seems odd to me.
