With my second son, I had an emergency C-section (his arm came out first). Since the surgery was before the weekend, my incision wasn't monitored closely, and by the time I was discharged, it had already become infected. Well, the classic story followed: they reopened it from the edges to let the pus drain, I had a month of cleaning, and I lived on painkillers because I couldn't even walk without passing out from the pain... I'm now pregnant with my first child after the C-section. The ultrasound shows a good incision (the last one was at the screening). In the last couple of days, I've occasionally noticed some discomfort in the area around the scar. It's not a sharp pain, just a dull ache that comes, lasts about 10 seconds, and then goes away, and I don't think about it again for the rest of the day. Is this normal?

Maybe it's normal, as the scar is probably stretching, leading to different sensations. I can't ask my doctor yet – my appointment isn't until November 24th, and I don't see the point in seeking emergency care for such minor discomfort.

When I had an emergency C-section, the surgeon said I should have had an MRI instead of an ultrasound if I was concerned. Until 37 weeks, ultrasounds showed my cervix was great and long enough, and that I'd even be able to deliver vaginally.
They told me my pain was just normal stretching. Turns out, that was completely wrong. During a planned hospitalization, I was taken straight to the operating room from the ER. I wish I could smack the person who stitched me up the first time.
My advice: Never ignore pain. Mine felt like electric shocks along the scar, mostly on one side.

with a scar on the uterus, it will ache and pull as the uterus grows and stretches. I also sometimes (not always, of course) have unpleasant sensations in the area of the scar, but they don't last long, a couple of minutes

There are no sensations from the incision.
