i am new to this so I hope I get it right.
I am looking for other people on the
post c section bulge. I had to have an
emergency c section for my first child and
an elective for the second. I bounced
back fine after the first one @ 37 years
old but the second @ 38 was not so great.
On my right side directly above my
surgery there is a bulge, not an overlap
but a bulge that can be pushed in and out.
I spoke to my family Dr. And he thought
it could be a hernia so he referred me to
the shouldice clinic in toronto which is
all they do. They said they could not
say it was or it was not. They suggested
that I do more exercises to build the
muscle in my lower abdomine. I have
worked on this agressively for over 9
months now and have seen no success. If
it was a hernia I would have to have
surgery again and not be able to pick up
children for 5 weeks. This is not an
option, I have a one and a half year old
and a 2 and a half year old and am
completley on my own 4 days a week.
I am trying to find out if anyone else has
had this experience and if they found
another way to make it look normal again.
I'm not looking for a flat tummy just not
a lop sided one. Maybe I am focusing on
the wrong thing or should I be going to a
different type of professional i.E.
Physio therapist??
