Itchy C-section scar and lower stomach - 6 weeks

[Happymum06]

Hello!!

Not sure if this is normal or what's happening.

I am 6 weeks pregnant with my second child and have noticed my c-section scar is itchy at times. It also seems to be itchy on my lower stomach, where I have some stretch marks from my last pregnancy. My son was born almost 5 years ago and IV never had any itching with my scars since. This has only started since being pregnant which I find odd.

It's not as though the skin is stretched enough yet to be itchy surely.

So confused!! There's no rash or redness. Just random itching now and again.

Should I be worried?

Your uterus is stretching already and the skin to. Do the incision may be a bit irritated. Have you tried creams and lotions etc. Keep drinking water plenary and the skin skin hydrated.

I've been noticing this, currently 11 weeks and noticed by c section scar feels more itchy and irritated, not had any issues over past 4 years with it so putting it down to changes in hormones etc.. as my skin is quite dry at the moment all over.
