C section shelf

What I'd like to know is how are you meant to tell if you have a 'shelf' whilst you're still holding pregnancy weight. Surely you can't tell until you lose the weight and can see if your stomach is flat again?

I personally don’t think you can for a few months. My belly stayed big for weeks but when it disappeared then I could tell if I did or not. I didn’t get a shelf at all x

From the moment they took my dressing off myself and my partner could see that I had a C-section shelf. But for my friend she couldn’t tell that she had one until she was nearly 5 months postpartum x

I didn’t know I had one until my tummy went down after the first few weeks x

I could see mine and there was no way of it going flat, moving my tummy and skin around to where it should be and it just couldnt, i have alot of internal scar tissue i can feel, my second c section tho
