left with a 'kangaroo pouch' ;-)

hi ladies, i love this site by the way
ive had 2 sections last one being 2yr 6mth ago, and i dont mind admitting ive been left with a not so nice overhang.. the thing is if i dont 'air' it, it still can get get abit pongy and red...its nothing to do with my actual scar because after 3 cuts its healed beautifully...but obviously because of the sections (if that makes sense) i didnt want to post this thread but i often wonder if anybody else has experienced this..and iam a little overweight (babys fault) haha...but not massively overweight.

I have one as well. Its even worse now after my second c-section 5 weeks ago. Im struggling with how to get rid of it best I can. Its really bothering me. My jeans dont even fit because of it anymore.

hi thanks for your post! to be honest talking about me, its been 2yr 6mth since my last section and it never did shift, its horrible.i think what made it worse was with my first preg i had 'polhydramnious' which is extra fluid, so towards the end of my preg my tummy was so stretched out...and when id had him the staff in operating room, said the fluid just gushed out and that i should have called my son 'flipper' haha! i try not let it bother me but at times it really gets me down, also i think because your tummy muscles are cut, makes it harder for it to get back into shape. but i have two beautiful children so i just blame it on them haha

Well i dont have an overhang but my stomach is not like it use to be (although i didnt expect it to be). I havent started really working out yet just take 1 to 2 mile walks with lo in the stroller some mornings. When pp did you ladies start doing ab exercises? Im back into prepregnacy clothes just want to tone up my abs abit.

Try wacking a bit of canesten cream on it I've managed to get rid of my over hang but used to have it my friends dads a doctor and he said any redness under there is probably a build up of yeast! Canesten fixes everything

I'm hoping to get it shrunk as much as I can. I didn't really make an honest effort of it after my first c-section. I actually gained about 30lbs after it. So I'm going to really try and see how much weight I can get off and do as much core strength and toning as I can and hope that it at least helps. I'm not expecting perfect, I just want better!
