I found out about them too late, but I've heard of a lot of c section mummas finding a post partum belly wrap helping them a bit... if it is the mum tum flap that you are worried/self conscious about. I was, but after 5 months. I'm proud of my tummy flap, tiger strips and all. My fully libido hasn't come back yet, I'm sure it will. I've been told by friends at can take a little while. Something I've found that had helped with self confidence in body imagine is finding a whole new style and even trying out new lingerie and night wear. It's actually quite fun to see what different clothing suits my body with the new changes. I hope you feel better about your body soon lovey, it's gone through a lot and has created something so amazing and special xx
3 weeks is really not a lot of time at all. You haven’t even been cleared to resume normal activities yet. It’s not impossible to get your pre pregnancy body back. You said “I don’t feel this way and I know it’s not true” in response to your partner saying you’re perfect. It’s not true for you at the moment but that doesn’t mean your partner feels the way you feel. It might be true for them. Practice positive self talk and affirmations. And give yourself some grace. You literally just gave birth, have not healed yet and it will take time.
What helped me as a csection momma with a dangle belly right now is remembering the amazing things my body just accomplished. It brought literal life into this world. Our bodies housed, protected, and nurtured our babies. It was their first safe home. It made me thankful for my body and what it's done to help me start a family. I also learned to give it grace. All that wasn't easy, the body took a toll growing that life, so of course you will look different, maybe even feel different. If this doesn't help you, please give yourself grace. What helps one momma won't always help another. Just know you and your body did amazing. If your husband truly loves you, he will think you're even more attractive for all you've gone through to bring yalls child into this world.
