? - 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.
I wore mine for the first month during the day and take it off at night
For my first I wore it everyday all day even sleeping for the first 2 weeks. Then took it off once the incision got infected. My second and this one I never wore it.
@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 heard of a compression belt before. I had 2 c sections. What is it for?
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...

A Statement from Mom.Life:
Hey everyone!
Last night, a new user began messaging our moms asking for private pictures of toddlers and young children. This is obviously unacceptable behavior, and the account was banned immediately. Although thankfully extremely rare on Mom.Life, several users were understandably upset by this, so we wanted to clarify a few things:
First off, Mom.Life has an absolute zero tolerance policy for child abuse and those who would prey on children. We strive to ...
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
IUI Monday!!
So today I went in for my routine bloodwork and ultrasound, and found out that I have three follicles at 17mm! Plus another two at 15mm. When leaving the clinic my FS said to take another dose of gonal-f and come back tomorrow to check to see how big they got and that we would do the iui on Wednesday. Well, after getting home, taking my gonal-f and going out to shovel snow (lol) I get a call saying that I am SURGING!!! I haven't ovulated on my own, or even come close to it in years...
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
