When the cs scar begins to stretch with the next pregnancy, usually at this point of the pregnancy, there is abdominal pain. It is very common for women to contact CARES and report this pain. Unless it is prolonged and intense and your instincts are saying something is wrong (hard to do when fear can be an overriding factor) it could just be one of those things you just dont get told about after having a cs.
