Had my ultrasound today. It was my third C-section. They said there's a niche on the ultrasound, like they didn't stitch it up completely. My gynecologist said at my check-up: no heavy lifting and no getting pregnant. So, I need to see the doctor who performed the C-section and find out everything from her. Has anyone else experienced this and what did you end up doing???

Well, that's just the plastic, the niche doesn't bother me, except that it empties a little at the end of my period.

Your doctor isn't very competent. My first, NOT my gynecologist, scared me by saying the scar had opened, that I'd lifted something heavy, and that I shouldn't lift anything over 5kg for a year. Then I went to my favorite doctor, and she calmed me down, explaining everything in detail. The niche is a variation of scar healing. It's not uncommon after a C-section. It's not a catastrophe. It's just how the tissues decided to heal, with a little pocket. And they continue to change for a long time. This niche can either shrink or disappear completely. She told me to come back for a check-up in a year. Regarding physical activity, just don't overdo it. You can have sex. You can't get pregnant, as it would 100% have to be terminated due to the risk of uterine rupture at the niche site. BUT! She said the niche can vary. In special centers, they can examine it with a hysteroscope and give the green light for pregnancy if possible. And the thickness of the myometrium in the niche area is important.

I had that too. No one saw it on ultrasounds before. Then I planned a pregnancy and went for a check-up, and they told me I had a niche and couldn't get pregnant (even though I had ultrasounds at two different clinics, and they both confirmed it). They said it could only be fixed surgically… okay, I accepted it… a year later, I go for an ultrasound, and they tell me the scar is amazing 🤔 Another year later, I'm pregnant… I carried to term as I should have, and everything was great with the scar. I wonder, did it really heal on its own?

I had a "niche" (pelvic floor issue) and no one told me about it. I got pregnant and it started... you have a "niche"... I made it through. I gave birth at 37 weeks and 6 days...

That was a niche issue for me too. After the baby turned one, everything became normal. What does that have to do with a bad stitching job? Many women have this after surgery, it's normal. They told you some nonsense.
