This lady (found on a google image search) has a post c-section overhang. It's easier to see in a picture than explain?

 

[sarahmc89]

Im not even sure what kind of stiches i got... they just took off the big plaster type thing. Not done anything else to it? :S xxx

 

[Zal88]

Oh I see! I l need to take a look I don't think I have an overhang like that just my deflated bump which is getting smaller each day

I got staples in mine had them removed today, you probably got the ones that dissolve.

 

[Squeakz]

dissolvable stitches on the surface?!? lucky xx

 

[sarahmc89]

Can u get those ... i hope they dont need to do anything else. Xxx

Oh I'd forgotten about the clexane! Yuck, silly, but I hated doing it to myself!

I didn't have stitches girls. Nothing at all. Just a purple feint line. Nothing on the outside at all, must have been all done from the inside but I've no idea how? Maybe it was glued? I should have asked. But there was nothing to see. My oh said there's nothing to prove a baby came out of there!! I'd never believe it either....except I was kind of there!

Xxxx

No I didn't have anything on the outside either, which was why I was scared to laugh or cough incase I popped open lol xx

I read about the stitches that dissolve. My scar is quite painful it's still open a bit but midwife didn't seem to concerned but it hurts when I stand up, anyone have a similar feeling? I can't wait to fully heal feel like it's taking forever!!!

[Zal88]

Oh no... periods lol, I think I'd rather have them then a bump though! I really started to feel uncomfortable towards the end and I'm loving sleeping on my back now.

Anyone have trouble bonding? I don't think I have trouble but I feel as though something is not right, I don't sit there staring at him or anything like I thought I would...maybe I am having another emotional minute! Argh hate these hormones!! I keep blaming it on the fact that I didn't push him out

 

[Gayle30]

Mine took 10 weeks and I ff! Was like 'oh shit moment' ha! My 1st one was hell. So painful! Not been used to that! Went bk on the pill and all I did was bleed for 4 weeks so I came off it and no period since! Talk about messed up cycles!

Please see ur gp again in a few days if ur wound doesn't close. Csection wounds that get infected are nasty!

I miss my bump and eh.... 'Gayle-never-wants-to-do-this-again' can't wait for another xxx

I had the same feeling. I mean don't get me wrong i loved him more than anything and I was overwhelmed but it took me ages to feel like he was actually mine. I put it down to my emergency section. It took until he was about 11 weeks with a really bad cold and suddenly it clicked that he's mine and he really needs and depends on me. He's now 17 weeks old and I love him so so much. Xx

Wow 11 weeks, I'm glad there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I do love him so much but I feel something is missing still I can't wait for that horrible feeling to go I just want to enjoy my baby. The scar doesn't help either makes carrying him and bf so painful and uncomfortable

 

[tiaflame]

Trust me I felt awful about it. It will just click inside you one day I promise. Then cherish every minute because it goes so fast and now I feel guilty about how I felt! Xx

I spoke to OH about that today... something just doesnt feel right. I just dont feel like i have a bond with her. Bf is difficult that weve basically given up. We so skin to skin but just i feel like i cant do anything right and its really getting me down xxx

Keep strong, it will happen. I felt cheated as I didn't get to hold my baby until he was over 4 hours old no skin to skin, could only see his daddy holding him ( which was lovely but I think it was too long for me not to be able to hold him ) xx

 

[Zal88]

It still doesn't feel like he's mine. I had another emotional moment last night because breastfeeding is so demanding I want to stick with it but it's literally every 3 hours I'm getting tired my boobs are sore ahh it's a constant battle because he puts his hand infront of his face all the time and fidgets ahhhh he's eating well judging by his nappies but it's so demanding
