Tummy squishy 2 weeks after csection

Just wondering if this is normal?
Currently in the bath (first one since section!) and noticed my stomach is extremely squishy. Is this normal?

I am a plus-size lady and always had a really hard stomach before hand - I did get gestational diabetes so I was expecting some weight loss but this squishy stomach is so strange!

I've also weighed myself, I lost 8.8kg since having baby 14 days ago still a couple kg to go under pre birth weight. She was 8 pounds 2.

Was your tummy super squishy too?

Its like that after every birth whether its caesarian or vaginal, it takes a while to go back down but it will. After I had my son my stomach looked like a blancmange but it looked like normal around 8 weeks afterwards.

Mine is still squishy four months postpartum, sadly. But I am an older mum.

22 years later still there... but I was fat already and had 2 in 2 years at nearly 40.

Mines squishy, my youngest is 4. And I'm a slim size 10 so I'm pretty sure its normal.

I remember having a shower at the hospital afterwards and holding it up!! It did go back to normal after a month or so!
