Both times my surgeon told me not to use one and tbh I didn’t feel the need. They can make your core lazier as they don’t encourage muscles to actually work and they can affect the wound whilst healing (it just needs to be kept clean, aired and given time)
I wouldn’t, sometimes organs can get moved around to get the baby out and you want them to settle back into their natural position afterwards or you could end up with problems later on
Thank you
For the first week or so it helped me feel like everything was in place. I just used the binder the hospital gave me. After that I liked the Frida Mom hot&cold recovery belt. The ice pack was really nice and i still felt a little secure. It not very tight but still comfortable
