Let me take you back to those early weeks postpartum. I remember standing in front of the mirror, staring at that red, angry scar running across my stomach. I felt broken, disconnected. The scar wasn’t just skin-deep—it was a constant reminder of how much my body had changed.

I hated it.

And I know I’m not alone. 1 in 3 women in the UK deliver by C-section​, but no one talks about the emotional weight of the scar that’s left behind.

At the time, I felt stuck in this body that didn’t feel like mine anymore. But that changed the moment I decided to take back control of my recovery.

The Shift – From Shame to Empowerment

After weeks of doing nothing but resting (like they told me to), my scar felt thick, tender, and that stubborn C-section overhang wasn’t going anywhere. I thought, is this it? Is this just how my body looks now?

I started digging, speaking to other mums, and that’s when I found the three things that changed everything:

Scar Massage – I’ll admit, the thought of massaging the scar freaked me out. But once the incision healed, I started gently massaging the area with virgin coconut oil every night. This softened the tissue and broke down adhesions beneath the skin​.

Medical Grade Silicone Strips – I wish someone had told me about these earlier. They my scar’s redness by 84% and flattened it by 86%.

Medical Grade Care Suit – Wearing a postpartum compression suit daily prevented that overhang from becoming permanent. Plus, it made me feel more supported physically and emotionally​.

Women Like Me – And You

I’ve spoken to so many mums who felt the same. Women who couldn’t look at their scars at first—until they took action. They followed the same steps, and just like me, they started to feel proud of what that scar represented.

That scar tells a story of strength, survival, and bringing life into the world. Now? I see it as part of me. A badge of motherhood.
