HATEEEE my body post C-section

I had a C-section 4 days ago and I’m really struggling with how my body looks. My tummy now hangs down over my scar and I hate it :( Does it go away or will my stomach be like this forever?

Don’t worry your uterus takes 8 weeks to shrink back. Don’t expect for the over hang to go until at least then

It’s only been 4 days! Just focus on resting up! Your body is still adjusting to not carrying your baby any more, your uterus will be shrinking back down to its before size but this takes time. It can take up to a couple of months for it to go back to before so just focus on looking after yourself and baby and let your body do its thing ♥️ I get how you feel and it’s a shock but it’s completely normal and not permanent x

I had a c section 3 years ago n the hanging is still there for me..

It’s a shock to see your body so different to what it was prior but you bought a beautiful baby into the world and that’s incredible! Just focus on resting and healing and looking after the baba and your body will do its own recovery (uterus shrinking, scar healing)
