• I got pregnant 5 months after my c-section. My scar only bothered me the first 3 months after that I had no trouble. I also had my first VBAC with that pregnancy.

• I am in my third trimester and granted my kids will be almost 7 years apart, but yes my c-section scar bothered me the first trimester. My ob said its normal. Just the skin strechting. I don't think you have anything to worry about. =) Rub some anti-itch lotion on it, might help a bit.

• My second pregnancy after a c-section--my scar did not hurt much until the end. Howver, this time (3rd baby---two c-sections) my scar is hurting/aching quite a bit. My ob says its normal and that my stomach/uterus is growing rapidly and that the scar tissue is going to feel the strain.

• I'm coming up on my 4th c-section (19 more days...whoo hoo) and just noticed the edge of my scar was itchy the other day, but only that one day, other than that I've never had an issue.

•  Hey, I m 22 weeks preggers after having my son September 5 2007 & my scar itches all the time i just put on some thick lotion & go about my day & this will be my second c section.... but it helps me sometimes so maybe try some kind of oatmeal lotion it works better than the cocoa butter for me
