multiple csect, and incisions.

[rjm09]

Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, but if you have multiple csects, do they open up the same incision? Or do they make another cut?

 

[Aliciaxo]

It's not a stupid question. I'll be watching this tread bc I'm wondering the exact same thing

 

[rjm09]

???????

I know we've had a number of ladies who've had multiple C-sects. :/

I'm not 100% sure as I haven't had my second section yet (2 weeks to go) but I think they go in the same incision. I think I read somewhere that second sections can take longer because it's harder to cut through the old scar tissue.

 

[Mummythree]

no they dont open the same bit up twice.

 

[Fruitymeli]

no they cant possible cut the same bit as each pregnancy is different i asked that but they did it as near as possible now looks fine

Hi,

Mine was cut along the exact same scar as last time. A lady i work with has had 4 sections and 3 were done in the same scar and the fourth in a new one about a centimeter above the other one. It depends on the scar tissue from before. My cut this time was smaller than the one before. They didn't go all the way to the end because i had more scar tissue at one end due to an infection the first time.

As they went in the same scar my recovery this time was amazing. I was painting and doing housework the same week i had it.

my second one is barely a cm abovr the old one. so for me no not the same incision

I have had 2 emergency sections and they went in using the same scar for the second section. It follows exactly the same line, right down to a slightly wonky but it one end!

 

[baby5hopeful]

no they cut above and below the scar and take a little away and make a fresh one xx

ive had 4 this is gonna be my fifth x

I just had my 3rd section 3weeks ago and they have used the same incision line as my first 2, i know they cut open my uterus in different places each time though and especially this time as i had alot of scat tissue that had to be removed. xx

My surgeon wouldn't cut in the same place as he said it would have too much scar tissue but tbh it is only about 4 mm apart so doesn't look bad.

 

[hopeforamirac]

thnk it depends on your surgeon by the sounds of it

 

[rjm09]

May not be the surgeon...can I get more US answers if I can?????

 

[lockzie]

I have an up/down abdo scar, from my tummy button down to my pubic bone...... not sure what they will do with me as my scar is thick at the bottom and have a funny hole where it didnt heal properly. I will find out on Thursday

I've had my 3rd section less than 3 weeks ago. My incision lines are right on top of each other so much so as you can barely see the different lines. I'm from the us btw.

 

[Septie]

Same line, in the US. It looks even better now than after the first, and the first already looked fab.
Uterus, no idea. That's the crucial bit though in terms of scar tissue...

 

[Jadey121]

ive had two sections and only have one scar x

 

[beachlover1]

ive been told by consultant that she will go in through the same scar! my sister has had 3 and all are the same scar!!

 

[miss cakes]

ive had 3 sections and only got one scar so they must have done em all in the same place x
