scar tissue pulling?

[Sarahw08]

I had a c-section with my first pregnancy. I am 10 1/2 weeks and am starting to have a pulling sensation in my lower abdomen.  I read about uterine rupture.  Have any of you experienced anything similar?

I had a csection 3 years ago, I'm currently 14 weeks pregnant and feel the same sensation every now and then. Especially when I get up from sitting on a hard surface. Glad I'm not alone.

I too am trying for a vbac :-)

Actually the risk of uterin rupture is so low and rare that that is y most doctors do not recommend repeat cesarean and would rather a natural birth its healthier. Natural is healthier for mom and baby. And has no greater risks involved than repeat cesarean. Vbac is usually a better choice just depending y you had a cesarean before.

I hate the feeling of my growing belly w my incision. My c.section was last april (15mlnths) and.I'm pretty sure im having a vbac. The risk of rupture is less than .5% the risks w  a repeat c section of a lot higher then w a vbac. I have heard of  21 yr old ftm having her uterus rupture during pregnancy.. So its.not.impossible its just very unlikley..

I have had 2 c/s . It's normal to feel pulling to some extent...you have scar tissue there so it makes sense. I would mention it to your dr anyway. Uterine rupture occurs more when a woman tries for vbac (vaginal birth after cesarean)not from just being pregnant.  That's why so many drs.recommend repeat c/s if you've already had one. Not to say you couldn't vbac, it just carries a higher risk of rupture.
