Hi,
With the current state of affairs, you should avoid intercourse until the cause of the pain is deciphered. It could be a scar tenderness, though it is unlikely at this early stage of pregnancy, or it could be some herniation. I would ask you to immediately contact your consultant for further evaluation and support. Please get a pelvic/trans-vaginal sonogram to locate the placenta, scar situation and progress of pregnancy. Hope your query has been answered. Wish you safe motherhood.
