Need advice

This started tue… I got woken up from a nap by a contraction (I usually have one good one an hour) well when this happens I usually can still move (get up or roll over ) while they are happening… well this time I was frozen in my place when I went to roll over… I had a pain coming from my c-section area that felt like if I moved it would rip… it was a lot like when I had my c-section and I couldn’t sit up to get out of bed, kind of had to roll left or right… it was alarming and I made a note if it happened again I was calling my Dr… but it didn’t that day… Tuesday night it happened to a lesser degree a few (maybe 3) times during the night and once in the morning while standing… I ran it by my husband and he said watch it, you grow over night and I think you just had a big growth spurt… It didn’t happen the rest of the day and I put myself on bed rest around 1:30 that day due to contractions sometimes as frequent as 7 min apart… the contractions slowed down so I never took my terbu and went to bed… well tonight I have had that pain again more than a few times… they even wake me up… maybe because it 4am (and it always seems worse at dark:30 am) but I don’t want to wake anyone if it’s just “growing pains” but I have visions of c-scar rupture…

1st do you think I should take my terbu even though the contractions are more then 20-30 min apart (at this moment) just to stop the c section scar pain… as I only get the pain during a contraction

Or 2nd call L&D

Or 3rd wait and call my Dr at 9 am (5 hours from now). i will be seeing him tomorrow for my weekly Dr appointment

If you got this far THANK YOU… you should be nominated for saint hood… I hate it when I get worried in the wee hours… I hate waking people…

My c-section scar has been hurting me also, especially when I move around in bed or laugh. I think it is stretching but I believe that if it was a rupture the pain would be excruciating and it wouldn't go away. I don't know what your L&D is like, but I called them alot when I was pregnant with the twins and they were always very helpful to give me peace of mind. I hope you are doing better today

 

bless your heart - how are you doing this morning?

 

Hope you are feeling better! You might have some scar tissue adhesions between your uterus and your scar that are stretching with the contractions. Not serious but really uncomfortable. I have them up by my right ovary from a previous surgery. HTH

 

Thanks ladies :love0028: … I think the only reason I second guess myself is because my DH was not concerned and he’s the first to plop me in a car and head out to the Drs… plus at 4am I always think the worst… don’t know how many times I thought I had something major (like terminal cancer) in the middle of the night to have the light of day calm me…
I just plan to mention it to my Dr tomorrow at our appointment

thank you again

 

I do the same thing in the night!!! bless your heart! let us know what the dr says!!!
