I just noticed my stomach skin is peeling after 8wks from giving birth by C-section. Has anyone else experienced this? I couldnt find anything on this. Could it be from losing the baby weight? It's like sun burn peeling. I thought maybe it's from being stretched and now it's going back, but I couldnt find anything online that referenced skin peeling on stomach.

What can I do next?

What do you mean by peeling? Like a sunburn peeling or do you mean the glue peeling off? I did not experience any sunburn type peeling but the glue peeled off by itself.

mine did that too, just over the incision. Not so much like a scab, but more like sunbruned skin that peals.

Are you meaning dry skin? If so, that can happen. My skin seems to do that after my babies (even my non-csection babies). Lotion helps. Hope it clears up soon! I wonder if it's something that happens from being stretched.

I had it over the incision, but that was it. Other then that, I have no idea. I would call the nurse at your OBGYN and ask her.
