Droopy pouch under scar

During pregnancy I swelled up quite a lot, including my pubic area. Now after my c-section 3 weeks ago it looks very saggy down below and I'm worried it will never go back. I was prepared for the loose skin above my incision but not below. It makes me feel really unattractive and self conscious. Has anyone else experienced this and does it improve with time?

omggg i’ve just noticed this in mine too!! i’m hoping it goes away with diet and exercise 🥲

@Laura oh god me too! I'm planning to do scar massage from 6 weeks as well and hoping that helps.

I want to start!! it’s kind of sensitive though :/ two months PP

Scar massages are great definitely suggest that and not just the scar but even like the stomach too after 6 weeks. My pubic area also gained a lot of weight and is still pretty heavy. I’m starting to lose weight so hopefully I’ll loose some but idk

I’m 12 months post partum… dilute your body lots of water and gradual exercise I just started massage to because I was so sensitive and it’s getting smaller… give yourselves grace ladies we just brought little humans into the world!!!!!

Has anyone else found that their lower tummy is still numb and feels bruised and sore? I’m 2 months pp and I can’t touch my lower tummy as it’s too sore! My pouch also hangs over a lot which is horrible. I’ve started going back to the gym but I feel like it’s going to take forever!

@Amanda yep!! i’m two months PP too

@Amanda mine is completely numb as well, it's so strange. I've heard it can take months/up to a year to come back!
