How does your previous c section(s) scar look/feel?

This is my 3rd pregnancy, I've had 2 c sections and will have a 3rd when this LO is born. Right now it seems that my scar isnt stretching, my tummy seems to sit above it and get round. It really doesnt hurt any but every once in a while ill get a sharp pain, so idk if that could just be ligament pain, its a lot worse than I remember. Im 20 weeks so i just starting to really show and begin to get big. With my other 2 there is a 7 year gap so my scar last time had a long time to heal.
I was wondering if anyone who has previous c sections has had any similar type problems or any others?

Ive also been concerned about my anterior placenta with 2 prior c sections.

Hi, i have a scar from 3 years ago, and it is itching a lot. I don't know if it's stretching. At this point i have a massive belly but it also seems to be just above the a scar. I'm curious what other ladies say.

Hi, I'm also pregnant with my third after 2 previous c sections. My last c section being 2.5 years ago.

I'm 22 weeks and already have a pretty huge bump but so far the only thing I've noticed is that the area around the scar can get itchy, but thankfully it's not been sore or painful and looks totally normal.

My bump is mainly above the scar but I'm starting to fill out beneath it now.

I also have an anterior placenta but it's at the top of my bump rather than down by my scar. I asked what would happen if the placenta moved down covering my scar area and my consultant just said it's perfectly fine and they just cut through the placenta. It's not dangerous at all as it all needs to be taken out anyway.

I read that if the placenta grows by the scar it can grow into the uterus and possibly through it i know i need to stay off the internet lol but I do know that with each c section (or any surgery that makes scar tissue) it increases your chance of complications.

I havent been itchy, maybe like a few weeks ago but I think as i get bigger that will change

I had a section 2 and a half years ago, bump is over and above scar currently, looks like it did just after I had it done (kind of hanging over the scar, but more round than sag). It's also getting itchier by the day.

I've noticed lately that mine is a little sore, and itchy as well. Mine was 2 years ago. I don't have an anterior placenta though. But at your anatomy scan they should be looking at the placenta too and noting it's position and they can see if anything weird is going on. I don't think you have anything to worry about! Lots of women have c-sections and plenty of them have anterior placentas and it's never an issue.

my section was 6 years ago, but its still numb feeling but nothing other than that
