I had my c-section 10 days ago. ( Sorry about the photo I am still trying to get the sticky crap off of my skin) My doctor took some extra skin off and then sewed me up. But now I have this loose skin. How long will it take to become less loose skin or will it stay looking like this? Also when I bend or sit up sometimes I pull my muscles but it does not hurt in the incision like it did with my last 3 this time it hurts by my belly button. Is that normal?

*** the one of me in the undies was taken standing up at 7 day postpartum & the one of me in the red shirt was taken kind of laying down at 10 days postpartum***

You are healing up nicely. Oh the joys of the loose skin. I had my daughter in April of 2012 and I honestly don't think my loose skin started looking better until about sept/oct. Also, some of the pain you are having is completely normal. I know my entire area down there was numb for Bout 2 months. S everyone heals differently. xoxo. :flower:
 
I am freaking out that the loose skin is going to be worse than ever. I have been told to wear the cpanty because they help but I have a postpartum support that I only wore on the ride home from the hospital. I hope they will do the same thing if so I will be wearing that like no tomorrow.
