Abstract
Abdominal burn scars and pregnancy are rare in literature. Loss of normal skin ability to stretch, scar-related uterine displacement, and maternal discomfort especially on the second half of pregnancy are the main problems. We present a case report of pregnancy with an abdominal burn scar due to scalded burn injury. Although the abdominal scar was constricting the abdominal wall severely, intensive follow-up of the pregnancy culminated in a healthy newborn via cesarean. There was enough expansion over the abdominal wall including the scar for a healthy delivery without any need for an operation.
