things/advice to help with or after C-sec

Chickiebird, yes I am, thank you:) posted on our old birth thread when I was 9 weeks (will be 16 weeks tomorrow).

Praying that you join me in being preggers soon إنشاء الله. (God-willing). Aaqil has Jordyn so this bub needs a Horward friend too

Will probably have a ceasar end of Feb, was considering a vbac maybe, but dh said no way are we putting ourselves through that again (shame they take the births worse than we do sometimes)

Suhaila you're preggie??????? Congrats

Thank you Cleo and Claire (shrew) for your responses, much appreciated xxx

I used the Cherished Belly belt. It covers everything. I also started wearing it immediately, stiches and all. I got mine from Kids Emporium but they do sell online. I shrank very quickly but more due to genes I would think. What I liked was that it kept everything immobile so actually helped with the pain. It also protects it from bumps etc. so in a way for me it also acted as a safety device.

Hi everyone. I ended up having an emergency c section with my first lb and I'm considering having an elective with my 2nd lo due in feb.
I did not wrap my belly after Aaqil, and the dischem in Durban are clueless when I ask them about the Dale abdominal binder that GW mentions. Baby city does keep the carriwell support band. Has anyone used it? Also from when can u start wrapping your belly? Immediately? After the stitches come out? And does the band go over the stitches as well, or just the top?

Thank you so much:)

Yeah thanks Vix for starting the thread.
I am going in for the third tym and still found the link helpful.

I have the belt but was too scared to wear it early, but now
that I know I will wear it sooner.I also got it from Clarrissa.
