So I had my baby girl 12/4. The first time around in 2023 with my baby boy I was concerned and stressed about my milk supply as a first time mom it ate me up and stressed me. This time around I’m not stressing about that. This time I don’t like how my body looks 3 weeks post C-section (2nd one) I’m highly scared of getting an apron belly. Mind me I have never been super skinny I’m a thick curvy girl. But I see an apron belly developing with this second C-section. I’m scared I’ll get obsessive with my weight and I’ll try to lose a lot of it and workout. When I say obsessive I mean it not in a good way! I have been there before and I would follow some crazy diets and fast etc. but my weight and how sleep deprived that I am is overwhelming me.

C section. 11-28 tbh I was terrified about how I would look and I’m quite the opposite and fairly happy but taking recovery methods/measures… have you tried any?
@Lauren the incision are and above it still very sore I try to softly massage it. With the first one the during this second pregnancy made the scar turn into a keloid. Right now I’m using a steroid cream to prevent from becoming a Keloid the scar looks great. Not sure since it’s the second C-section that it looks like more of my belly actually hanging over but like @Kristen said there is still healing to be done. Everyday is less inflamed.

I hear where you are coming from. I had my baby girl on 12/5 via C-Section and I am overwhelmed with my body. But I keep telling myself, how I look now will change, still so much healing to be done!
