preparing C/S scar for pregnancy and VBAC

[borntobemummy]

Is there anything you can do to help the scar cope with being stretched through pregnancy and staying strong for VBAC? I had my first U/S yesterday and it hurt when the guy was pushing on my scar. We conceived one day before DD turned one so it should be fine. I've been rubbing in bio oil everyday, any other suggestions? Does it hurt as you get bigger?

Hi!
I found that my scar has ached occasionally as Ive gotten bigger - but nothing too severe.
Ive also rubbed creams into the scar twice a day to help with elasticity, and my naturopath/homeopath has given me a remedy to help strengthen the scar in preparation for labour. That might be worth looking into for you?

Hope you have a great pregnancy and VBAC!!

All the best for your impending VBAC too!
Could you give me some details of the remedy from your naturopath, sounds good.
