? - I was given a compression belt to wear after my csection. They told me to wear it until i felt comfortable enough to take it off. Its been almost 3 weeks now Im obviously still healing but scared to take it off. Its kinda been my security that my incesion site is safe. But at the same point I don't want to be overly cautious. Im worried ill experience more pain if i take it off. Any other people that have worn a compression belt after csection....How long did you were it for and how did you feel after not having it on?
I didnt know about it for my 1st csection with my 1st child i couldve really used it then but with my second the nurse mentioned it otherwise i wouldn't have known about it either.
@jayme wow I would have gotten one if I known about it. I had to hold my stomach Every time I got up or needed to move a certain way.
@lana30319 its a belt thats fastened around your whole abdomen to provide comfort for that area & it relieves some pressure & pain in your abdomen & around your incesion site.
I never had one but I'm sure if I did I'd have worn it for a few months. I'm a huge baby when it comes to that kind of stuff. I still won't look at my scar and this is the 2nd time I've had a csection
