First pregnancy was normal, but delivered with C-section. This pregnancy has been severe abdominal pain for almost five months straight now! The doctors jus give me meds an ultrsounds with no results. I've seen five docs and they have no idea whats wrong. Baby is fine so I should jus kinda deal with it?



I just want to know if this is normal for mothers who have had a ceserean the first time and get pregnant again. What expreiences have other mothers had in my position? Is it normal to be in pain every day for 23 weeks (so far)? I need help! I don't know any mothers who have had another child after a c-section and this is really starting to worry me and my family.

I have had 3 c-sections and with my last pregnancy I had lots of pain. I also had a u/s to find the cause but nothing showed up. During my c-section my OB found lots of scar tissue it was connected to my bladder and other parts so that was where the pain was coming from. Good luck and hope you feel better soon

I can only speak from experience, but I had a c-section with my first abd i'm currently 31 weeks pregnant with my second. I wouldn't say that i'm in severe pain, but i'm UNCOMFORTABLE! how long has it been since your first c-section? where are you feeling the pain? i find that I have pain when the baby pushes forwards, but the baby likes to be low and towards my back (so hello back pain).

the problem is that if you started having abdominal pain really early on, i doubt that the size or location of the baby would be the contributing factor to the pain. if you had a virtical cesearian then that can explain some of the pain as your uterus streaches against the scar.

have your doctor look for gall stones, kidney infections, bowel blockages and other GI problems, they might just be looking in the wrong place!

hope you feel better soon!
