C section scar related??

I had an emergency c section in 2024 and this year I’ve noticed something new that keeps happening and I don’t know if it’s linked to having a c section. I’ve noticed when I’m getting out the shower/bath and I’m bending forward to dry my legs and feet I get this random tight knot feeling in my stomach ( few inches above scar). It scares me but soon as I stand back straight it goes. Has anyone else experienced this?

Probably scar adhesion if anything, or weakened abdominal muscle

This happens to me and I’m almost 4 years out from having a C-section. Not sure why it happens. My assumption is the same as . It happens more after I work out my abs

Growth scans

Hi ladies - just want to ask if there's anyone here who Hasn't been offered a growth scan? Literally everyone I've chatted with on this app has had one or multiple growth scans. My last scan was the 20 weeks one and I haven't seen baby since 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ want to ask my midwife about this at the next appt but still, is it normal to not be offered one? For context, I'm 34 weeks. Thanks x

Anxiety!

So I’m currently 7 weeks and 1 day, I had a scan about a week ago so I would’ve been 6 weeks and 3 days, the crl was 7.0mm and there was possible cardiac activity detected. I’ve seen scans around the same time as me with bigger babies and clear heartbeats. I’m so so paranoid that the next scan isn’t gonna be good news as I expected to see a heartbeat at my last one.

Can anyone share their experiences if they’ve had similar? It’s my first pregnancy and until I see a heartbeat my mind just won’t settle. Here’s my recent scan picture

C section pain

Hi, I had an emergency C section 2 weeks ago exactly, it was a pretty horrendous C section in the end 😭 but my question… I’m still finding myself in some pain, a soreness around my scar, a pain inside my stomach and a strain when I wee, is anyone else experiencing this please? I’m taking pain killers when it gets bad maybe once / twice a day if I really need! I really thought the pain would have been gone by now 😭😭
