I’m 18 weeks down the line and finding my whole stomach is very tender still. I expect it will be a while until I’m back to normal but it’s painful to even put a tiny bit of pressure anywhere below my belly button, is this normal anyone else experienced similar? My wound healed really well And quite quickly.

Mine felt odd for months and months, however any concerns then give health visitor a call

I healed really nicely and quickly on the outside but didn't heal internally for so so long. I remember it used to take me ages to stand up straight because it felt like it was pulling my scar inside and I just felt generally bruised 🤮. It's great that you've healed so well but just give it time and take it easy, I reckon it took me nearly a year to feel totally back to business but it's different for everyone.

Sounds like you're doing great but any concerns go and nag your GP. I found the female GPs were much better with me.
