question for women who have had multiple csecs...

[Anonymous]

I often have terrible pain along my incision like my scar is separating. This will be my 3rd csec and it has the feeling of a fresh csec and has a burning pain. My dr said it is probably just thr scar being stretched and that there is no way of really knowing but if im bleeding or the pain gets worse ect to go to the hospital. It eventually goes away but im really nervous that my scar is separating and just wondering if anyone else has experienced severe pain and did it end up being something serious or not?

This is not something I experienced with my 2cd pregnancy. Thanks

I haven't experienced that but I would think it may have more to do with internal scar tissue than anything else. has it been over a year since your last c-section? If not, you are still healing.

I've has 3 Csections, and never had that - how far along are you? When was your last surgery?

I have that too at times. It feels like fire and im being ripped open. I just stopped using my stomach muscles as much. It seems like the only tim ei woul dhave this feeling is when I get up outta bed. So I sit up differently now. I have had 5 c-sections.

Oh okay, I didn't understand that you were pregnant. I'm sorry. I imagine it's going to burn as your skin stretches and all that scar tissue stretches inside.

it's probably the muscle stretching further than it has before. If it is a burning pain you feel then I would suggeset going to your PCP and have which ever scan they recommend so they can make sure that you are fine.
