Csection belly after a week

I had emcs exactly one week ago.
My stomach still looks very pregnant may be 25 weeks type, is this normal for csection? I don't remember this from my previous 2 natural births?

It takes up to 6 weeks after birth for your uterus to contract down so it is normal to look like you have a bump for a while after pregnancy. I found my body shape changed too Sad

Ah ok, I am just looking at it thinking its a bit scary looking, overhang and all and its going down very slowely.

I'm 3 weeks in and still got the jelly belly with overhang unfortunately. I'm told it takes 6 weeks and is longer than a natural birth because you're less active.
