In my case, because I had such a long labor before hand, I had a fluid build up about a week after my son was born and my incision had to be opened up again to drain. It was REALLY GROSS. I had to bandage the area for almost a month before the fluid stopped and they could stitch it up for me. The scar is actually not that bad, it's very low and is covered even by a pair of bikini underwear. My muscles are a little flabby right there, but that's mostly because I couldn't do any exercise due to the open incision. I've just now been cleared to resume all normal exercise, and my son is almost five months old!
