I've hit the same milestone, mama bear! There is much more round ligament pain at around 16 weeks (baby is growing and demanding more space. Yay.) Any scar tissue can definitely magnify discomfort (pinching, stabbing), and tense muscles can lead to painful spasms or BH contractions. The best thing to do is help your body relax (a good bath, quiet time, simple yoga stretches or breathing exercises, support belt) and if your Dr said everything is fine, try to trust them. :). Placenta previa is when some or all of your placenta is sitting over your cervix. Spotting or bleeding would be a common symptom of this... More than the, "I just had intercourse" sort of spotting. Hang in there, sunshine!!
Placenta previa...calling previous c section mamas
So I had a c section with my first almost 2 1/2 years ago. I'm 16 weeks with baby #2 and I've been experiencing a lot pressure and even se cramping. I went into my doctor last Thursday because the pressure was so bad and my dr have an ultra sound and vag exam and said everything was fine and to just take it easy..
Well off and on since I've had pressure and some cramping, could it be from scar tissue stretching from the previous c section? Or I've read that having lots of pressure can be a sign of placenta previa...just wondering if anyone else has had simar symptoms. I go back to the dr on Tuesday 😕 thanks ladies!
