Not showing in pregnancy after tummy tuck. Is this normal or not? (Photo)

Your skin and muscles are thigter than before so you may no have a large abdomen size. If your ultrasound showed that your baby is ok the you should be worried about it but let your obstetric know about the TT you had before.

It is possible that the repair may hide the pregnancy somewhat. However it is no hindrance to the progression of a normal pregnancy.

Pregnancy after a tummy tuckyes,  the muscles and skin were pulled tight so you may not show as much as your previous pregnancies.The important issue is the ultrasound and appearance of the fetus.

Tummy Tuck after pregnancy just some revision of the scars.Congratulations and enjoy your pregnancy.

Your abdomen will stretch with your pregnancy and there should be no problems.  Patients have had a normal pregnancy after a TRAM flap for breast reconstruction. 

Thank you for your question and photograph. I have had several patients have a tummy tuck and eventually have another child. Each of them have had the same experience that you are having. It took them longer to show and it was not as noticeable.  Fortunately their skin did well and they each had a flat stomach soon after the delivered. Good luck.

Make your  OBGYN aware that you have had a tummy tuck.  The tummy tuck is just going to come apart with the pregnancy, as if you never had the surgery.
