    pain around c-sect scar - 35 weeks preg

    I have been getting pain around the right side of my c-sect scar. feelskind of like round ligament pain that doesnt go way for a while.

    this is my 2nd pregnancy i only had 7 months between pregnancies.

    stressing that it might be a weakness in my scar.

    Hey hun, I've had pain on and off near the site of my scar too. I definitely don't think it's a sign of weakness but just the fact that the scar is scar tissue, many of the muscles near there were cut and are still stretching - especially in the last few weeks of pregnancy as bub gets heavier. I get regular pain in some muscles on the right hand side too and I remember that side being quite bruised after the surgery so they must have been quite rough there and done some damage. Your scar is strong regardless of time passed hun.

    Think of any other cut on your body that has healed and how it doesn't just tear open if you put pressure on it. I have a large scar on my leg that took 14 stitches to fix and I often look and think of that - I can run, walk etc and put pressure on it, even from early on and it was fine, especially now as it has healed.

    Hope that helps and if you are still worried or need a chat or some reassurance just pm me.

    Awwww hun - it is so hard not to stress. Get your hair done - I feel so much better for going and reading goss mags for 3 hours and then looking better. Iz has a cold too and is literally a snot monster who bolts the minute she sees me coming at her with a tissue. I have to use covert ops to get her- so I feel your pain. Not too long to go sweet. xox
