Hi, I was wondering if it was safe to be
pregnant after a cesarean?? I just had a
cesearan 7 months ago and haven't had my
period in over a month now?? Havent taken
a pregnancy test yet but i've been feeling
sick and have had all the symptoms of
being pregnant. My scar that I have from
my cesearen has been really painful in the
past week.... It feels like someone is
stabbing me right where the scar is an is
ripping me open from the inside and is so
painful so i'm worried that if I am
pregnant that my scar isn't healed and is
opening??? Is that possible could that be
the reason for the stabbing pain near the
scar?? Thank you

That is one of my fears at the
moment....Getting pregnant so soon after a
c-section. Not that we don't want any
more kids, but i'm so afraid of my scar
opening up...I'm afraid of that happening
now, let alone if I were to get pregnant
again! My baby is 7 weeks and 2 days old.
Last night was the first time we did the
deed since she was born. I can't remember
when it was before that. I was just not
in the mood. And now even if I am in the
mood, I worry about my scar opening up,
and getting pregnant so soon. We wanted
to wait until adriana was about 2 or 3
before trying again. Even tho we take
steps to prevent pregnancy it's still
always possible! So needless to say my
poor hubby is just gonna have to wait. I
am soooo cruel =)

That was my fear my scar opening.... My
sister just recently had a c-section 8
months ago, she started working out and
running a month ago and jumped into the
bathtub and noticed she was bleeding, her
scar opened a bit and her doctor told her
she was doing to much to soon and put a
butterfly bandaid on her cut to close it
again.... Thats what scares me!!!

I had a c-section and the doctor told me
to wait 1 year until trying to conceive
again. It took us two years to get
preggers after that. I was a little
worried about the incision that I had
splitting open. I have to have my baby
early to keep me from going into labor
because of the risk of splitting a
vertical incision.

Yeah mine too, I know it's there and can
feel where it is, but seeing it???Not
really.
Takes a year to heal so I would test soon
and find out if you are and see a doc for
birthcontrol if you not ready for a nother
baby yet..I had c-sections 10 years ago
and I was told it took a year to heal
since they cut 6 layer of skin.. Well
good luck.. I have had 2 kids since then
and thats the only c-sections I had to
have since he was breach..
