c section scar

I was curious, I have no cramping or anything severe but I have a weird pain kinda hard to explain where my c section scar is from my son. With everything going on, this scares me. Is it normal?

i had pain over my c-section scar when my uterus first started to grow/expand with the baby. think its related to scar tissue, etc. mention it to your doc if it worries you.

yes its norml. i had 2 c-sections but mine felt like kinda stinging burning itchy feeling or something like that. i talked to my doctor about that before and he told me thats normal because the uterus is stretching.

I have had 2 c-sections and am currently 22 weeks with our third and I get those pains and did with my second as well. My doc explained like this, when your stomach starts stretching everywhere else is able to stretch but the scar tissue so it can cause some pain and discomfort. Plus depending on how good your surgeon was sometimes it can tear a little, my first doctor was a quack and that scar just stopped tearing at the side and leaking a few months ago and my daughter is 4.

It is normal since everything is stretching and your scar is too. My mom had her uterus taken out and when she gains weight her scar hurts. My aunts each complain of scar pain when they got pregnant again or gained weight quickly. Each had c-sections.
