I'll post one when it's healed more. It's still bruised with overhang right now. What's with the overhang when I wasn't overweight before I was pregnant?

Overhang:
Imagine your baby bump as a balloon, then deflate the balloon & ta da!
when you have a natural birth the bump will stay intact upright for a bit, but when you have a c-section all of your muscles are cut to get baby out therefore theres nothing to hold up your deflated bump.

My section scar is bootiful a tiny sliver of a hairline scar! You can barely see it now 6 years on! I am due a to have a section next week so hope that they can stitch me up as nicely as they did the first time!
I had my appendix out when I was a child and the scar from that looks more like a shark bite its horrendous in comparison!
