Body after C section

Lynsey

I had a Vaginal delivery with my first in 2016. My body went back to normal plus a few pounds within a few months. I had a csection with my second on February 10th due to breach presentation and spontaneous rupture of membranes. I’m struggling more with my post partum body this time around. The scar is healing well, but my abdomen is puffy and hangs over my scar a bit. I’m also still really numb above the scar. I know it’s only been 2.5 weeks, but I’m feeling a little sad that my body may never really be back to “normal.” Naturally, I’m thrilled with my little girl so I don’t need reminders about how it’s all worth it in the end. But, I would love some advice from other csection moms regarding how long it took you to feel normal again after your csection. Did that puffy layer above the scar ever go away? Or reduce enough to be less noticeable? Did you ever get feeling back around the scar? Thanks for the advice!
