C SECTION SHELF!!!

Heeey, I had a c section and have a shelf and found a c section massage helped. I paid for a specialist to do it as the shelf can be from the scar tissue pulling, not sitting right and being super tight. I found it made me look slimmer. Granted im no stick thin human and have sone podge as well, but the fact I do little to no exercise and the shelf is going... suggests its working...?

Hey you said you workout etc , do you do deep core work? I also workout etc and still have a shelf but it’s definitely reducing I do core 3 x a week so wondered if you do core & if so what excerises? Happy to share mine if interested

Unfortunately this is something that comes with a c section, after you've had a baby it can cause organs to sit differently which in a normal delivery can cause a shelf, after a csection you have 7 layers that have been cut or torn and scar tissue etc that generally doesn't go back.7 months the is still very early after a c section it takes atleast a year for swelling etc to go down. There is surgery but involves mesh and skin removal which has risks and further scarring , the mesh can also be rejected by the body causing internal infections even years on. You need to give your body time to recover it takes atleast a year to 2 for the body to fully recover after having a baby plus belly is normal hips widen and will stay wider after birth. Its part of being a woman. If you go to the school gates look at every mum there only 1% will be super lean with no lumps of bumps and they are the ""lucky"" ones who "snapped back" please go easy on your body, it took 9 months to grow a baby, went through a big surgery

Heya, what I found is really helping me is this brand called SayBeam. They are a sculpted brief like underwear you wear daily not at night to give yourself a rest but they have special banding in them that’s pulls your core together which intern helps the self come up and as your core will become closed together the self will disappear. You can google them just thought I’d share what’s been helpful and see if it would be helpful to anyone especially with c-section and ab separation (ab diastasis) 💗
