Pain/cramping around c section scar?

[christina1612]

Hi ladies

I'm only about 5 weeks gone with my second, i had an emcs with my boy 20 months ago. I'm worried as I've been getting cramping and discomfort around my scar area and I'm not sure if its normal?! I had a mc before my son so I'm terrified things will go wrong! I'm in the uk so there's no chance of an early scan or seeing a midwife before I'm 8-12 weeks

I had a section 8 months ago, yes I've had cramping too, it's quite normal to have it even without having a previous mc. Mine got more intense around 7-8 weeks.

They say as long as it doesn't follow with bleeding it's just new bub making a comfortable nest

I spoke to the midwife and she said we are bound to experience more discomfort because of scar tissue and adhesions. I wouldn't worry unless you have severe pain or bleeding xx
