Will I get a C-Section overhang?

I know the answer isn’t simple and it depends on a number of factors..

Bit of context - pre-pregnancy I was physically fit, and had fairly strong abs and good definition. Unfortunately I’ve had HG throughout my whole pregnancy so have been unable to keep up any kind of normal fitness levels and my body image has been the last thing on my mind up until now and starting to think about the birth.

I am swaying towards an elective C-section as a birth preference for a number of reasons, but I must admit I am scared about how my stomach would look long term afterwards as most people I have spoken to have the C section pouch/overhang, with most of them being very self- conscious about it.

I would really appreciate any personal experiences. Have you gained an overhang as a result of a C section? Has it affected your confidence/self-esteem? How have you found recovery in terms of scar tissue issues/numbness etc..

Would like to prepared for the outcome so honest feedback is appreciated.
