Postnatal massage

I underwent csec, so my massage was done 3 weeks after birth. By then, my water retention was gone, and my uterus was halfway shrunk, so weight wise, I didn't notice a difference. But I requested for the masseuse to focus more on the tummy instead of other parts since no water to push out alrdy, and it did help with my tummy a little bit. Wish I was able to do it when my water retention was bad though,the massage would have helped move the water out faster
