I had my 2nd C-section (1st - twins each over 7lbs, 2nd - singleton ~10lbs) less than 2 weeks ago. My OB informed me the day after surgery that I may have soreness or pain in my lower abdominal area as the muscles were very thin so he stitched them together. I was not close to my goal weight pre-pregnancy and have known I needed a TT and full abdominal wall repair after we were done having kids due to excess skin and hernia. Did this potentially compromise my future TT results?
