C-Section healing?

Question

People who have had c-sections, who is still healing? I am 2 weeks & 2 days pp. 
The only thing I keep worrying about is if my stomach is going to return back to normal. ( i know not completely, it has went down, i just have a small fold over pouch.)
I want to drive, my doctor said I was okay to drive after 2 weeks, but my aunt said no because it’ll be a strain on my body/scar.. Ive lost my appetite and everything. 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️
Oh, & When they cut you, they cut your muscles? Right? After my 6 weeks im going straight to the Gym! lol
😭😭😭

Answer

This is my second baby but first c section 2 weeks and 1 day ago. I too am worried about my stomach going back to normal. With my first son, (a vaginal birth) it went back to normal within the first 6 to 8 weeks but this time with a c section I’m worried it won’t ever be the same...or close to it. I guess these are normal feelings but I too am anxious to know what I’ll look like in the end.
I also seem to have no appetite since surgery. With my first son I was ravenously hungry which I attributed to breastfeeding but this time I feel like I’m eating half of what I was eating previously.
Just a note, they do not cut your abdominal muscles in a traditional horizontal c section. My Dr told us that these days they actually separate your abdominal muscles down the middle and push them to the side.  Just in the last few years they now move the abdonminal muscles back into place and put in a stitch to hold them together while they heal.

I hear ya!! I'm 6 days past my surgery, just had my staples removed yesterday. It's like I have a water balloon pooch that sags.  Its awful. 
And I have no appetite either!!! I stopped all pain meds today to see if it will help. No appetite  yet

Answer

Yes, your stomach will go back to normal but you may have a small pouch after words. Just had my 4th C-section and my stomach went to normal. I will not go back to the gym after 6weeks I will say 3 months
