You look great! I’m wondering how things are going? Any updates? I have an almost 3 year old and 15 month old. Worried on how I’m going to do it.

Over 3 weeks po and everything healing wise seems to be going good. I had some issues in the T section if my incisions healing. I've. Even keeping the tape off them and cleaning and applying ointment to help with healing. So far soo good. :) started sleeping flat on my back and sleeping has been easier. My incisions are very sore and tender, and by the end of the day I feel sore. Tylenol or wine helps with that ;) my 1 year old has been really great with mommy not being able to pick him up as much. I'll usually bend down to him for hugs. Or he'll gently sit on my lap for snuggles. I've been wearing bralettes and sports bras of my choice. I'm hoping that once my incisions heal all the way I can start scar treatments. I'm considering investing in Embrace. But still looking for other alternatives.

I have my surgery next Wednesday. I too am considering Embrace but man is it expensive. If it really stays on for 10 days at a time, and works, then I would do it. But my ps isn't really into it. It seems like it would feel so secure and really let those scars heal with no pressure, please post If you use it. Your boobs look good. Hope my healing goes as well as yours. We are about same size. I almost feel like I shouldn't do this because I am not a j,k or l. Lol. A mere Ddd. But the fact that they are down to my rib line is what is bad. Plus my freaking back and neck pain.

Yay congrats on your upcoming surgery.! I definitely don't like the idea of paying that much. But I seen some amazing results with Embrace. I've been doing some research and there's other more money savvy scar treatments. My husband wants me to do Embrace cuz he wants the scars to fade tremendously but I keep telling him they are not going to completely disappear. Lol pssst men

Soo after not pooping for almost 8 days and everything I tried wouldn't help me have a bowel movement I finally caved and did the laxatives. Now I probably should I asked my PS before I did this. Ooppps.. don't judge me lol I was desperate at this point. I literally looked 6 months pregnant cuz I was sooo backed up. All the pain meds and anesthesia has clogged me soo bad and I couldn't bare anymore. Soo let's just say if you consider the laxative right. Whatever you do DO NOT GO ANYWHERE! I fortunately knew this. Because the box tells you relief within 6-12 hours. That is false in my case. I was on and off the toilet from 6pm last night till 6am this morning. Let's just say I'm good to go now ???? Anyways no more poop talk.

The oxy drugs cause extreme constipation. I stopped taking them the second day.
