I gave birth to my son 4 weeks ago via emergency caserean and I have a question about the scar.

After the birth my stomach went down pretty quickly, and I had a flat tummy before I was pregnant. After the casear, I noticed that above the stitch there was almost like excess skin sitting above the scar. I thought that it was from my skin stretching over the 9 months, but now 4 weeks later, I've noticed that the skin hasn't 'lifted' or flattened.

I may sound vane, but I am worried that there will be a flab of skin above my scar forever. Does anyone know if it gets better in time? Or did the dr not sew it right and left too much skin there?

Also, now being 4 weeks after the surgery, is it ok to start exercise? If so, could I use an exercise bike?

Many thanks!
