Does anyone else have a weird 90 degree angle of belly sticking straight out over their c-section incision? I swear, it looks like they implanted a rectangular bar over the wound.
Anyone else have this? It looks so weird from the side.
Does it go away/flatten out?

Yes! I definitely have excess skin right above my incision! I am 3.5 months pp and it has gotten better but definitely still there. Sorry I don't have any long term insight!

Yes, I had that bar but it finally flattened out at 5.5 months post partum!

@Sammyfab: 3.5 months is longer term than where I am. 
@autumnlove: Woo hoo! Good to know.
It totally creeps me out because it's hard. Surgery is weird.

I had it for like 8 weeks. Now its totally gone. Once your skin tightens back up and the swelling goes away, it goes back =o)

Looks much better now! Still room for improvement though. 2.5 months pp.
