? bout pregnacy after a c-section

[rocking baby]

ok i'm curious..i want to know if there was any difference in ur pregnancy after having a child by c-section..does a pregnancy post c-section have different sensations? like did ur c-section scar itch or hurt? stuff like that...

y i'm curious is that i had my lil guy by c-section due to placenta previa..and we are not considering but not ruling out having another baby right now..and i wanted to know if there was more discomfort in the pregnancy after a c-section? and all that stuff...

All four of mine were cs and I didn't notice anything with subsequent pregs after #one. I did however, notice all the things the ladies have mentioned in other threads that you experience with next pregnancies. You show sooner with each one. Round ligaments at the bottom of the pelvis hurt more, especially when getting up, or God help you, when you sneeze while laying down. :o Baby feels heavier and a lot of the time IS bigger at birth. Oh, and it's easier and more fun with each one, imo...

Yup, Joy said it all. Their is no difference with the next pregnancy after a c-section except for the pregnancy norm that every women experiences (c-section or no c-section).

Rockingbaby... I DID... my scar was so sensitive at first and if I moved too quickly particularly in the earlier stages of pregnancy my scar would really hurt.

It tends to get tender, or feel painful, but as soon as I feel this I lay down with a book and just in general try not to over do it but as I have got futher along it's a lot more comfortable.

During my 19 week scan the tech checked my scar and all is fine as far as they can tell -

WHen it comes to your time if you do get some discomfort around the scar don't be too alarmed LOL I know I freaked at first - but as soon as I found out that it does happen (and that doesn't mean it will happen to you too) I was okay about it. :wink:

Ditto. That's what I've heard too.
