Anyone had a C section before?

Hey, need some advice on what post natal must haves to start packing! Does anyone recommend any pants that are suitable for c section? Do I also need a c section support band? Or any special creams you recommend to help with scarring? 🙂

Hey, big cotton pants the bigger the better 😂. I used naydaya scar saviour cream the pots are tiny but it really goes a long way. Some kind of plain sensitive wash for the area whilst healing. Take a pillow to hold on your tummy for on the way home and tell your partner take it easy going over potholes and speed bumps 😂 x

@Alannah thank you! Can I ask when you were able to drive again (if you drive) 🙂

Same as Alannah ^ Also been recommended Chewing gum for after the surgery, will help with getting bowels working!

They advised 6 weeks after! Also on caoimhe says I do recommend maybe stocking up on some dried apricots to try help you go after 🙃 it’s the only thing that worked for me. I think they say peppermint tea can help too x

Yes take peppermint tea into the hospital! I would recommend the Frida Mom postpartum disposable pants probably used them for 3 weeks! Really stretchy and comfy
