C-section pouch

Will I be stuck with this for the rest of my life? I’m struggling majorly with body image as this pregnancy gave me loads of stretch marks also. I feel like I don’t even recognise my body when I look in the mirror.

Following as I feel the same. I've read that massaging the scar can be helpful so I'm going to try that when it has healed a bit more. I think weight loss having a new born combined with giving birth has made my situation a lot worse too as I started pregnancy overweight. I think once we are able to do a little more post recovery it should improve. I'm hoping so anyway. Bio oil is good for stretch marks if you've not tried it x

I could’ve written this myself, I feel exactly the same. Every time I get undressed I just feel so sad, hate the pouch/shelf I’ve been left with and the stretch marks. Hoping losing some weight will help and that the scars will fade in time. 😞
