Pain After Lifting Following Tummy Tuck
If you feel a hole in your abdominal wall 3 weeks following a tummy tuck, you should schedule a follow up visit with your surgeon to make sure that you have not damaged your muscle repair. Good luck.

If you heard pop and you feel a defect, it is very possible that you tore some of your sutures after lifitng the baby. Best to be seen by your surgeon.
