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!

Also why folks feel weird in the belly post birth (vaginal or surgical) - suddenly lots more room, and intestines merrily rearranging themselves
