I had a c section 3.5 weeks ago.
My SIL has just come round and gone on and on about ow I 'still look five months pregnant' and how this 'didn't happen' with her after her c section.
:(
She kept looking at me from different angles and saying, 'it's just really weird, your tummy still looks pregnant!'
I would have told her (politely) to bugger off but I was too upset to get into it so just left the room.
.i am sleep deprived and have struggled with eating disorders and body image issues previously (SIL knows this) and feel very sensitive on this matter.
I am now worried that I have got totally wrecked stomach muscles from the c section and that they will never be normal ever again :(
Could it be my uterus not contracting down yet?? I haven't been able to breast feed (Been feeling rubbish about this too... SIL also knows this...) and so wonder if my tummy is still protruding from sticking out uterus. Possible??
I probably do look v pregnant still, I am overall quite skinny but do still have a big bulging tummy. I had been feeling better about it these last few days as I thought it was improving and now I feel really really shit.
sIL not known for her sensitivity but this is a bit much. I may just be hormonal and tired but I feel rubbish now and just want to hide away because I feel like a freak.

To think it was insensitive to have said this about my post baby body and be a bit upset??
