Default Cesarian Scar - next pregnancy


"Helen" meathelensymons.eclipse.co.uk wrote in message

Hi, to all those who have had one cesarian and gone on to have another
pregancy!

My sister is now 14 weeks pregnant with her second baby. Her first was
delivered by emergency cesarian. She is experiencing bad pains from the
scar as her tummy grows this time.

Did anyone else experience this? and if so do you have any top tips on
easing this pain/itching?

Many thanks
Helen


How long has it been between her pregnancies?
DS1 (emergency C-section - born Dec '99) was around 4 months old when I was
pg with DS2 (VBAC, born Jan '01), and I didn't have much pain around my
scar, but I do remember it was fairly sensitive - but not a bad pain,
really. Just uncomfortable, but later on in my pregnancy.
With DD (VBAC, born Aug '05), I had no pain at all around my scar. The
whole scar area is numb, even with this current pregnancy, and I just have
those horrible ligament pains.
I did get a bit uncomfortable with DS2, and I found that a support belt did
help a bit. Maybe that might help your sister? Other than that, I really
don't know
