C-Section -- 1 Year Out and Abs?

Hi, I am wondering if anyone else has had this experience. I had a c-section last October and I've had a lot of success doing ab work since then, but lately when I do some types of ab exercises I can feel it where my incision scar is. It doesn't exactly hurt but it is a little uncomfortable and the ab exercises are harder. I already have a doctor's appointment and I know that my doctor is the real authority on what's going on etc etc but have any of you moms experienced this and what was the verdict?

    I've been experiencing this lately. When I do pretty intense ab exercises, especially those that target the lower abs like leg lifts, my muscle under the scar just hurts. I spoke with my dr and trainer and they say it just takes time to heal and weren't concerned. We just got to remember that that spot is the weakest of our abs because it was cut straight through and needs extra time to grow back. FYI I had my c-section 9 months ago.
