Second pregnancy after C-Section – Anyone else have scar pain

Hi mums! 💕
I just found out I’m pregnant with baby #2 and wanted to ask if anyone’s had a similar experience.

Lately, I’ve been feeling an achy pain in one specific area. I went in to get checked last Friday, and they said it might be related to my previous C-section (which was 4 years ago).

The pain isn’t constant, but it’s noticeable. Has anyone else experienced this during a second pregnancy after a C-section? How many weeks you were when having the pain?

Would love to hear your experiences or any advice. Thanks so much! 💛

I had an achey pain when I was pregnant with my second after a c section

I was the same way I had my second 20 months after my 1st. Both c sections. It’s most likely due to growing uterus.

I'm in the same boat. Csection nearly a Yr ago next week, I'm 2m pregnant and occasionally I get the odd scar pain, it's around the area they tied I think.
I spoke to my midwife about it and they said its probably just the scar tissue stretching with the uterus. Which made a lot of sense and has calmed my nerves.

Mine is a slight light dull ache to just a stretchy feeling. Doesn't really hurr, just feels odd. I've also noticed that I've regained a lot of sensation in my stomach since being pregnant

If it ever gets sharp go in ASAP. Mine became sharp pain by end of pregnancy and turned out it was dangerously thin 😶

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Breastfeeding

Does it ever feel better? The actual feeding part of it is going really well and baby boy is growing so well. I’m struggling with how my boobs feel day to day - it’s really getting me down most days. The let downs make me feel awful and sounds silly but, I am also really missing not wearing a bra! 9 weeks postpartum and still getting fairly engorged, even with comfort pumping.

Any advice or just shared stories would help. I’m so torn between carrying on because I enjoy the feeding side of it or switching to formula.

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Big nursing bras!

I’m looking for recommendations for good nursing bras for bigger breasted ladies!

I’m currently in a 38H which seems to be the biggest size done at M&S (UK based mama here) and it’s snug and not as supportive as I’d like. When I look online, they mainly seem to be sized S, M, L, XL etc rather than bra sizes.

Any recommendations please?
