C-Section Recovery
Wondering if any previous c-section mamas would recommend a post surgery support band?
Keep seeing them whilst buying other bits but unsure if they are worth the investment or actually help with comfort and pain…

My surgeon specifically warned me off them. My midwife too said they are not necessary and can in fact impede recovery as you want your muscles to start working asap to aid healing. Also a fresh wound shouldn’t be bound or covered, it needs to air once the bandage is removed to avoid infection or creating unnecessary scar tissue. I’m about to have section 2 next month and not bothering again. Didn’t need it for my first recovery, didn’t need support and the meds were great. By 6 weeks I was exercising normally and my core muscles recovered like pre baby in their own time xx
@Sarah thanks for sharing this, really interesting as I haven’t discussed it with my consultant or midwife yet.

I’ve just had a c section and my friend who has one a few weeks ago has recommended one so think I’ll invest. She also suggested frida mom surgical strips
