Hello
I had twins 5 years ago and one baby last year. When I was pregnant with the twins I was huge and my tummy was so stretched that I had some funny bumpy looking things afterwards (Apologies for the lack of medical terminology but I live in France and don't know the translation) Anyway, as my stomach was fairly flat and well hidden (my Burberry bikini days are def over) I just thought it was normal. I saw a physio last year and she thought I had a hernia so I saw a specialist and I have in fact 2 hernias and a gap between the abdominal muscles, likely caused by the first C-section and them prising my muscles apart. I am going to have the hernias sorted and a mesh put in between the tummy muscles in two weeks. I just wondered if anyone had had any experience of anything similar and how was the end result and indeed the recovery as am more than a tad apprehensive.
