Pregnancy After C-Section

I had a c-section 1 yr ago Nov. 14th, and Im now 19 weeks pregnant.  I have had horrible pains in my scar area, and Ive been on muscle relaxers to help ease the pain. My husband and I tried to have intercourse after a month of not having intercourse, and it hurt me so bad. I dont know why?  Its never hurt before.  But this time I felt a popping sensation in my incision area and it continued to hurt for several hours.. There was no bleeding or anything else unusual. Has anyone else had a similar problem?

I just talked to my dr's nurse about it and she said it was normal, but she had never heard that complaimt from anyone else.  How is it normal if no one has had this problem?  Oh well, I guess its all okay, otherwise id be bleeding or hurting now. Lol!

I'd ask your doc to be sure of what's going on but I had a c section July 2012 and July 2013 and I'm now 25 weeks due Feb 2015 I have some pain during sex as well but my husband is very big down there so my doc said it's normal

It is the same dr, and I called to inquire aboit this strange pain, but i never recieved a call back.  Im getting impatient and I need some answers.  I also have SPD, where my hips separate faster than usual, and thats why ive have the pain that i recieved the muscle relaxer for. But the pain im talking about was much different than what ive grown used to. It felt like my incision popped open. Obviously i know thats not what happened, but thats what it felt like. And ive consulted other women who had pregnancies soon after c section, and no one experiences this. Except my mother in law, who was later diagnosed with endometriosis...

I had a csection last year and fell pregnant again 10mths later. I had a bit of stretching pain in the first couple of weeks but it was more uncomfortable then painful and nothing since. Are you using the same dr this pregnancy? I would let them know.
