C-Section Scars

I had my baby 16 months ago and have been working out for a year. Today, my section area is sore but I am unsure if I injured myself or if its just from working my abs. Thoughts?

    Mine ached for a very long time after on and off. Occasionally I would get that little ting. If its just sore I wouldnt worry. If its actually painful I might call your OBGYN. Hope it feels better soon!

    ...is it the skin around? ..the muscle? or the scar itself?

    That happens when you start excercising again after a C-section.. doesn't mean you've re-opened the scar area unless you have extreme pain and bleeding in the area.

    When I complained to the doc, he said it was most likely adhesions. The inside does what it can to heal, which sadly means scar sometimes, even on the inside. I would check with doc just in case. Never know what is going on in there.

    since healing mine had never hurt. I agree with PP though if its just sore I wouldn't worry at this point. if it gets painfull or gets worse worse I'd check in with a dr.

    I had bad pain for months, 10 or longer after my C-section. I just wouldn't overdo it. My son is 30 years old and once in a while I'll get a twinge from the scar!!! Take it easy ...
