Question

this is my 4th. it's also my first vbac. 1 &2 were vaginal and #3 was a scheduled c section. I am having insane round ligament pain this time round. I never had it with the last 3. I've been having them since week 5 and now they're mostly constant. I'm told it's because it's my 4th but I'm convinced the c section is playing a part as well even though its 31/2 years old. ugh SO annoying.

Answer

I am also having ligament pain especially around my scar. I asked my Dr. about it because I didn’t have this with my first pregnancy at all but I’m 18 weeks along with number 2 and at times its very painful. I find if I move to fast or stand up it hurts worse. My Dr. said there were two reasons for it; 1 - its my second child so I’m stretching faster and also getting bigger then with my first pregnancy. 2- I have scar tissue from the csection and its harder for that area to stretch which causes pain. I also find this area to be very itchy which is annoying! Good luck I hope it gets better for you. My dr said second trimester was the worst of it due to growing so much during this time.

Answer

I had a c-section with my first about a year and a half ago, and my pain is pretty much the same as the first time around. Maybe you rebuilt your core muscles more than you thought after your third, and the muscles are just adjusting to pregnancy again. Hope your pain gets better!
