C-section After Tummy Tuck. Is it Normal for the Doctor to Do Muscle Repair?

HeatherB76
I got pregnant with and IUD two months after having a tummy tuck last June. I am currently 38 weeks pregnant with my fourth child and have had a fairly easy pregnancy so far, with very little weight gain. My Dr told me she could re-do the muscle repair that was most likely undone, when doing my c-section next week. Is this pretty common? What happened to my internal sutures during the pregnancy?
