 Topic: Lumpy bumpy bits

My scar healed really well - it's 10 months now since my DD2 was born via E/CS and it's just a thin white line :)
However I've started doing abdo exercises to try and tighten up this floopy tummy of mine - literally NO stomach muscles after the CS! - and I have noticed that I've got little hard lumps under my scar - is this just fluid, do you think?? I didn't think you could still get fluid build ups this long afterwards....

Are they new? I have those too, OB said they are scar tissue in the muscle layers - best thing to do is to massage them for 10min each day apparently. I never remember any more. Naughty naughty.

Not too sure here, I dont have what you describe. Id def check with GP and maybe get a referall back to the OB that did the c/s.
Floppy Tummys come from pregnancy/carrying weight of baby, not necessarily from c/s IMO. Some of my friends have had text book v/b births and way worse saggy/flopy tummys than mine. Everyone recovers differnt thou

My scar is awful (10mths since CS aswell). Very hard and lumpy, I can feel the scar tissue all underneath it  The scar itself looks awful too, really raised and red. Next time I see my MW I'm going to get her to check it and see what her thoughts are. I 100% don't want another CS this time around, but if it happens, hopefully they can remove some of the scar tissue and start again!

they can remove scar tissue during your next c/s, my friend had it done and her tubes tied with her last baby.
I wonder...random thought.... Ive been bikini waxing including the top area where the scar is for at least 10years before I had my 1st c/s. therefore there wasnt heaps of hair trying to grow back thru the scar tissue area. I wonder if this is why it healed so well? Anyway I have kept up the waxing as bubs is coming via c/s again soon anywhere from 4-7weeks away. Yippee cant wait to meet him.

In fact, they DO remove the scar tissue so they can give you a nice clean new one.
