I had a c-section 2 months ago, should it still be tight and pulling?


I had my second c-section two months ago. It is very tight to the point it is pulled tightly under my stomach and my stomach laps over it. It hurts when I walk because of pulling and sometimes I get a very sharp pain in where the scar is. I am 5 foot six and 170 pounds so I am a little over weight but not Carly Wilson pre op or anything. I have brought it up to my ob and they said it is normal. My first section was nothing like this and it certainly does not feel normal for my body. My ob said that she wants to see me in a month just to look at it so it does not seem like that is so normal seeing how she never wanted to do that with my first c-section. I asked her if I can wear a girtle because it just looks so gross and she said no because it will not let my stomach muscles tighten and I can not do stomach crunches or sit up to remedy it. Anyone ever had this or have any answers or how to fix this or how to have my doctor fix it, because they are saying it is normal.

I gained 7 pounds during my pregnancy, was down 8 pounds from my pre pregnancy weight...thanks though

Having a belly hang over is common because they cut through your stomach muscles to get to your uterus. does your tummy feel like its stretching? It might be just the part of healing. Its been so long since I've had my c-section i dont' remember to much. I know it hurt when I would try to sit up in bed. I would feel it pulling then. But not all the time. It might also be that your doing to much at one time. You need to pace your self. Let your self heal.

The difference is most likely that this time, you gained more weight. My C-section did the same thing. It is also your second c section. The most likely reason she wants to see you again is because you told her about it. Don't worry too much.
