Second elective c section, what’s everyone’s recovery like second time around?

Overlap tummy after c section

So I had my second elective c section. My first went very well, my tummy went back to how it was literally the very first week. I’ve always had a flat tummy and being size 8-10. This time I still feel bloated and the skin is over lapping where the incision is. Will my stomach go back how it used to be?. I was just wondering how other mums second c section went.

C-section Scar

I am almost 6 weeks postpartum and my c-section is starting to hurt again. There no redness or anything, just pain. Is that normal? My OB said it was healing nicely and that he wasn’t concerned at my two week appointment.

Pelvic floor

I’m 10 weeks PP and haven’t done any pelvic floor excersises, just haven’t got the time or energy. Has anyone else not done these either? Im concerned and feel like I can feel a bit of dribbling when I’ve been to the toilet

C-section/franks breach.

C-section - is it scary? I hate hospitals & needles so absolutely terrified but baby’s franks breach and we’re 37 weeks 😮 anyone else been or is in this position? Baby’s head is up under my ribs and very uncomfortable- they’ve tried ecv once and attempting again tomorrow. If no luck they book me in for 39 weeks. 😮
