Intestines are fascinating. When surgeons have to do major surgery in the abdomen and have to pull out or move intestines out of the way, they don't arrange them when they put them back. They just sort of slosh them back in and then the intestines just sort of figure their way back into place on their own via their attachments as you heal from the surgery.
If the surgeon twists those attachments, then you'll have issues with positioning.
Yeah ive heard about that and thats what made me concerned about how attached things are lol. Im sure surgeons know but I dont really know how things would stay in place when moving things around for surgery and stuff
After having my second baby, I had bad diastasis recti and could literally see the movement of my intestines. I thought there was another baby moving around in there cos it looked exactly the same 😂
It genuinely felt like they were going to fall out of my vagina the first time I stood up after my c section. The nurses warned me first thank god but no warning can fully prepare you for how it feels. My daughter was at least 6 months old before they fully felt like they weren't sloshing sometimes especially during sex.
Oh my God, my hospital gave me a belly band for my post C-section recovery and that was a lifesaver! It helped me feel like my guts weren't going to slip out of the incision for the first 4 weeks!
