Seen the Dr and the bump turned out to be a popped stitch and seri mech edge torn from tissue. A hematoma formed and he says it should heal on its own and should not affect my results. I had to limit my activity. No holding the baby and no exercising. Besides that I'm feeling great. Swelling is still something I deal with. It's improved but such a pain. It's so nice wearing clothes and not looking pregnant. I feel such a boost in my confidence. I would do this all over again in a heartbeat.

Feeling great and back to near normal activity. I have started working again. I was worried as I am a nurse and on my feet for 12-14 hours. I do have swelling at the end of the day. I tried to wear a spanx and it did nothing for the swelling. It does cause discomfort so I stopped wearing it. When I am home I wear my original binder. I also wear it to sleep. It gives me the most relief from swelling. I am able to lift on my baby. She's now 21 pounds and I sometimes worry bc she wants to be held constantly. Some days I just can't as much as she wants. I get sore if I hold her all day. Dr said I can increase my activity. I started doing squats and stationary type of excercies. I do have something going on that I'm following up on at next weeks apt. I started having a burning pain on my Right abdomen. I stopped doing my excercies and stopped lifting on the baby as much. A couple days ago I noticed I now have a bump the size of a quarter and some bruising. I sent him a picture and he said possible tear in scar tissue or a popped stitch. I don't believe it's either. I think I would feel a pop if I popped a stitch and it feels too large. It's sponge feeling. I have had scar tissue before and it does not feel like that. My gut tells me it's the seri mech. I'm not 100%, but it seems like it's the edge. Maybe it flipped up on the edge?? I'm worried. The pain is still there. I guess I will see next Fri. I will update soon as I know.

Feeling great. Just have some swelling by mid-day. Started scar therapy. Having lots of itching from nerve regeneration. Love that I can put on any outfit and it looks great. No changing over and over again. My size 5 pants fit loose. Loving the new me!! Can't wait until I'm 100%. I still get tired and it's still sore to sneeze. But I would do it all over again 100 times over!!
