Hi,
I had an ectopic at the beginning of this year which ended in a laparoscopy and removal of my left Fallopian tube in late February. I was left with three scars from the surgery - a tiny one in my belly button, another tiny one a bit lower on the left of my abdomen, and a bigger one at the top of my pubic area.
I’m now pregnant again and have made it to 14 weeks, and I’m just starting to develop a bit of a bump.
For the past few days the larger scar has been quite painful and half of it has gone quite red and swollen/lumpy. I don’t know if this could be from my skin starting to stretch as I’m getting a bit larger, or if my clothes are rubbing on it (it’s along the top of my pants and where the button on my jeans is so quite an awkward spot for chafing), or if it’s possible to develop some sort of infection this many months after surgery?
Has anyone had a similar experience? I’m not sure if I should go to the doctor or if I’m just being silly, my husband thinks it’s really small and I’m being dramatic, it looks kind of like a mosquito bite on my scar, but it’s really sore and bothering me.
