Hi everyone, I'm due to have a section in the next few weeks and was wondering about anyone's experiences with a section if you are overweight. MY Bmi is about 36 and I'd love to hear from others who had a section and their experiences with the operation and recovery. Thanks

This is good to read, I've been told I'll likely have a c section and have a BMI sitting around 39. I also have a really really bad overhand already from losing a lot of weight. I don't know whether it will look better or worse after the section. Wouldn't it be nice if they could just sew me up a little tighter?!

@Addler I have a huge overhang from weight loss too. My sections didn’t really affect it. Bastard thing.
