Hello,

I had a planned c section 6 days ago, this is my second c section and the first time around my tummy went back to ‘normal’ quite quickly. This time however I still look about 6 months pregnant.

I am worried about diastisis recti, since my baby was quite big and I am usually a size 8.

I have included a picture below and was wondering if anyone had experience of this and if your tummy flattened more over time.

Hi op give it time its only been 6 days.
I know you seem worried but really its normal and its still early days.
Sometimes we recover faster or slower.
Try not to worry.
