Re: abdominal swelling....
Thanks...I also had a lot of scar tissue and adhesions from my two c/s. I wonder if that's why...I go back to the doctor next week for my 4 week check up. I know exactly how you feel, I wore my jeans that were loose on my waist and are now tight, I thought I was going to die by the end of the day!! Thanks for your response...you know we can't do this alone!!! I love this site, it's been so helpful!

Re: abdominal swelling....
I would say swelly belly at your stage is normal. You may notice it is bigger with the more you do during the day, so it can be a good indicator for you to take it easy. ;-)
Hang in there,

Re: abdominal swelling....
I know I love this site too...it has really helped to know we are kind of all in the same boat and able to get answers...I think they have to do some digging to get through all that scartissue..I love using a heating pad at night before bed it really helps!

Re: abdominal swelling....
I am at 7 weeks today and still get swelly belly if I am up on my feet for to long. The other day I by the end of the night I looked like I was 3-4 months pregnant, eeeewwwwyyyyyy. I was not happy about it at all. I only wear jeans when I leave the house, but as soon as I get back home again I am right back into my yoga pants, or my hubbys jammy pants.
And I LOVE THIS SITE TOO I would be totally lost without it. I have noone that I know that has gone through a hyster so I only got you lovely ladies to ask for advice

Re: abdominal swelling....
Yeah, that's exactly how I feel....If I wear jeans, as soon as I get home, I get back in my comfy clothes! It's funny, I was thinking the same thing about looking pregnant!! I don't like it! Although, I am happy to say, I felt much better yesterday and today, my stomach doesn't seem to be so swollen. I actually went to the gym for the first time!!! Yay...I only walked for 30 minutes, it was just nice to be doing some form of exercise again! Yay!! Goin again today!!!

Re: abdominal swelling....
I am 7 weeks post op from TVH A&P repairs and my swelly belly has gotten better, but I am with you guys. I was nver a sweat pant kind of person but I have a new fondness for one pair of pink pj pants. I actually look forward to changing into these pants and am washing them constanly. I have to fight the urge to go put those pants on sometimes because my husband always says Your in you pajamas already at 4:00! Even though my bigger pants are wearable for the whole day I just love those pink pants!!!
