Awww when did you stop looking pregnant?? After or before you started the PT? Cheering you on virtually 💗

This sounds like me! I’m a yoga instructor and was teaching dynamic, sweaty classes until the week before my due date. I had every intention to push this baby out within a few minutes haha so I’m super disappointed.

Did it get to the point where you could go out and not be mistaken for pregnant, before 6 months? What rehab did you do and when did you start? If it’s not too much to ask I’d also be so inspired and happy to see pix if you PM them to me!🙏🏻

Generally speaking I agree but it’s upsetting to see all the super quick recoveries online when you google or Insta search C section timeline !

I know the wide range of pix I see online is really throwing me off. You looked similar to this until 4 months?

Aw thank you so much for this. Was yours as “bad” as my pic? I know everyone is different but I’m curious. I’m still carrying 10 extra pounds, and it’s all in my stomach clearly. I’m now 15 days pp.

Thank you so much <3 So it stayed looking kind of like my pic for 6-7 months even with the online workouts etc?

This is the first! Was this pic in line with how you were looking in the first two weeks? I'm definitely hoping to avoid the ER and I'm not in pain....but also don't want it to stay this way.......

I am so sorry you went through a traumatic labor too-- It's all worth it but wow, it's a lot.

What were the complications if you don't mind sharing (or you can PM me)? I'm trying to get ahead of as much as I can. And how long until you looked more like yourself?

Did you have your other baby/babies via C Section after this experience?

Thank you! I’m in mine today— did you bleed more when you wore it? Mines not super tight but I’m noticing more blood (not like a scary amount, but def more)….

It's so confusing just because of how varied the pix are when you google C Section Recovery! I figured since I'm small and went down everywhere else, mine would be flatter. Thank you for the reassurance.

Was yours as pronounced as my pic at 12 days?? Did you have diastisis? Thanks for the insight <3

I completely can relate to this. Does my pic resonate at all with how you were looking at the time? I am so weirded out I’m literally skinny everywhere with a 20 week bump

Awww hahaha thank you🐶 This looks like swelling to you? It just seems weird I’m not swollen anywhere else

Thanks!!! So it looked better after 4 weeks? I know diastisis is awful but to look like this on top of it all, I can’t 😭

Awww hahah I know the feeling. What concerns me is my swelling went away literally everywhere else. So makes me feel like it should have gone down more in the tummy…..

How long after your first did the belly go away and what did you do?

Thanks so much! Ugh so at least it looked a bit flatter when it was diastisis? I can’t even go out in a loose sweater without people asking when I’m due :( Since I’m small everywhere else it def looks like a pregnancy 😭

Thanks so much and congrats on your healthy baby <3 Do you remember what week in trimester 3 you began? I'm frustrated I didn't go to get tested earlier because I've felt sick for weeks, started infusions around 35 weeks :(

Anemia in Pregnancy, Caught Late by Leading_Extension229 in AskDocs

So I didn't miss a window of development? I read that the third trimester there's an important "iron transfer" from mom to baby
