I'm 5 weeks pp, my c section overhang has reduced with my uterus, but has anyone successfully gotten rid of their overhang completely? If so, what did you do to get rid of it?

Following as I’m in a similar position! 5 weeks pp and belly deflated substantially straight after surgery and has steadily got smaller but now seems to have plateaued leaving an overhang. I’m also wondering when I can start things like scar massage etc but got to wait till 8 weeks for my doctors check up

My baby's 8 months and mines still awful haha

Mines stomach went down alot gonna do a stomach wrap
when do you start the stomach wraps? Someone told me not to do it too soon, but no actual time frame 😅

I’m 4 months pp this is probably abit bias because my son was in Nicu and while he was there I at a sandwich a week I had no appetite so a lot of my baby weight went through starving but my actual overhang went because after the 6 weeks I kept active all the time even just going for walks with my son in the pram n it helped to strengthen my muscles n I did my pelvic floor excercises aswell which I could tell helped as soon as I started doing them

I started using the stomach wrap binder right after 2weeks to reduce the swelling and overhang , in fact I think binding helps with my movement better and lessen the pain whenever I try to sit up from a rest position.

I’m 11 weeks pp and finding as I’m loosing weight the overhang is reducing but I am doing a fair amount of swimming as it’s not to strenuous and gradually increasing my exercise x

12 months pp and still there 🤣

Use a binder now or stomach wrap or faja for compression. If you don’t it will stay
