c-section overhang :( :( :(

[My1stBaby]

hey ladies

i didnt put much weight on during pregnancy and most of the weight i did put on automatically came off when baby came out but now ive started to develop an overhang of skin above the scar!!

ive heard this can happen but never expected it to happen to me as ive been very lucky with the weight gain and no stretch marks etc is there anything i can do about it?????? or will i have it forever????

it makes me feel sick its awful

it does get better over time hun. Its where the scar tissue gets tight and acts like a band pulling it in. xxx

its weird coz its flat above it and below it... its just like this horizontal bulge, i hope it doesnt get worse xxx

My community MW mentioned this to me the other day and she said as the scar softens it will go. The way I see it is if it's all that I have to put up with post op then I haven't done too badly really. It will go eventually hunny xxxxxxxxx

Even after hammering the gym, getting a lovely toned tum I still could not get rid of the little overhang and my section was 4 years ago x
