Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 My scar is very long also. goes below my navel since I had a hernia repair at the same time. My scar did not change and I am almost 30 weeks. it does itch soetimes at the top though but other than that, nothing different. I am 1 1/2 years postop.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 I have a very long scar down the length of my abdomen from my surgery July 2002. What can i expect from it now that I am 4 1/2 months pregnant? will it stretch lengthwise? Itch bad? Ever go back to normal? I have had a very dark and thick scar from the beginning and it never really faded at almost 2 years post op. Just hoping to prepare myself from any of you already there or through it. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 I had a csection with my first child, just one year before my RNY. I came home with an open wound 19 " long...and believe me, I HAVE SCARRING! My OB says that I'm showing much sooner because I was cut 'both' directions and to expect a lot of discomfort from the RNY scar as my tummy gets bigger. I'm 11.5 wks along and I look like I'm near 5 mths. Been wearing maternity clothes for almost a month. Let me know how things go for you?

I had a previous c-section and had no probs at all. Maybe women who have gained alot more weight w/ their pregnancies can tell you more? Mine never itched and it was normal all throughout. (about the only thing that was normal in this pregnancy! lol) Sheila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
