Pains along c-section scar during 2nd pregnancy?

My first was delivered by c-section 2 years ago and I've just found out I'm pregnant again. I'm only six weeks in and I'm having sharp pains along the scar line. It happens when I sit up quickly and sometimes even when I cough for the past two weeks but never before. I'm wondering if this is common, will they get better or worse as I grow, should I see a doctor earlier than I usually would?

If anyone has had the same experience with a second pregnancy I'd like to hear their suggestions.

Thanks

    I have to tell you that it is normal. This is my 3rd pregnancy and will be my 3rd c-section. It still occurs with me and I am 21, almost 22 weeks. I think they call it round ligament pain from your uterus growing. I think we feel it more due to the previous sections. For comfort, please do not be afraid to call your doctor.

    I ve had 3 sections. Two were 14 months apart and then the third almost 2 years after the second one. I had the same pains. I think it gets better. Then they come back of course after the c-sections. If it bothers you too much, talk to your doctor.

    Hi I am now 36 weeks pregnant with my third and I have had the same problem on several different occasions. My doctor told me it is normal. and can get worse as baby gets bigger and it does, He told me it had a lot to do with the scar tissue. Still talk with your mid-wife but I have not had any major problems other than it being very uncomfortable. Good luck to you!!

    Yes mine was pretty sore it also itched a lot seems to be bettter now mine was almost eight years prior I'd still mention it to the doctor!! In my case it is not a big deal but just to be safe I'd bring it up not to scare you but I heard somewhere that ectopics will often bond or attach to scar tissue but is very rare (just telling you) I'm sure all will be ok!! Congrats to you!!

    I have never had a c-section before, but have two children and am a nurse. If there is any abnormal pain, I would definately talk to your Dr sooner than normal, just to discuss your concerns.
