C-section - 3 weeks

Oh mama, I wish I could give you a big hug! 🥹❤️ I completely understand how you feel. I’m a mama of five, and I’ve had five C-sections, with my most recent one just a few weeks ago. Trust me, I know how hard it can be to see your body change and not feel like yourself.
One thing I’ve learned is that healing takes time, and sometimes our bodies don’t go back to exactly how they were before. You’re only three weeks postpartum, so please be gentle with yourself. Your body is still healing, and you may notice little changes as time goes on.
I personally use a girdle or high-waisted garments, which help me feel more comfortable and supported. Just make sure anything you wear is comfortable, doesn’t put pressure on your incision, and is approved by your doctor while you’re healing.
Give yourself some grace, mama. ❤️ You can be grateful for your babies and still have moments when you struggle with your body image. I have those moments too!

Just remember, there’s no rush to feel like yourself again or to love every change right away. Take things one day at a time, be kind to yourself, and allow your body the time it needs. You’ve been through so much, and you deserve all the love, patience, and kindness you give to everyone else. Sending you the biggest hug, mama! 🥹💕

I’m about 7 weeks out from mine … I think everyone has that to some extent and I was convinced that I would never be able to wear leggings again when I was 2-3 weeks because it was such a weird looking indent. At my 2 week check which was closer to 3 weeks I was crying and asked will it always look like that and the midwife gave a scary “no one can say how it will look based on weight loss or weight gain” 🙄🙃 but it’s improved SO dramatically just naturally. There’s still a tiny crease but nothing visible outside pants at this point. And I still have +40lbs from my normal walking weight, haven’t done really anything except rest and started getting between 5-7k steps, 3-4 times per week. There’s scar massage you can do too to break up the tissue and loosen the skin where it’s bound to scar tissue.

All to say ❤️ you’re not alone and it does get better ❤️
