2 c-sections=2 scars? Anyone know why!!!!?

[Liviam]

I'm very surprised that you have two scars hun. Every c/s I have been at they have always removed the first scar and you are only left with the one. Interesting hun. You have me pondering why.
Oh by the way all those stretchies are reminders of how our bodies grew and nutured our gorgeous little kiddies - well that what I keep telling myself anyway

Did you have any issues re position of placenta, or where baby was lying? I also thought they made the new incision near the old one and removed the old scar, but I can imagine there might be circumstances when this is not advisable.

Tanstar- they didnt remove my 1st either. I don't have 2 completely different scars, they started to cut along the same one but from the middle to left side there are 2 different cuts. I was under the impression also that they removed the first but they didn't?? No idea
