Has anyone heard of this or had experience with one? If so, would you recommend one? Which kind?
-
My hospital gave me a support belt/band to wear after my c-section; it didn't have a brand tag on it but it was nice and stretchy and wide.
I also bought one at BRU, they had several to choose from - ended up returning it since I just used the one the hospital gave me.
I would HIGHLY recommend wearing a support band following a c-section!!!

Yessss. I bought a Belly Bandit but to be honest, preferred the one I got at the hospital (ASK for it, they didn't offer it up). It was super wide and elasticity and ft so great to wear (I thought it'd hurt but it didn't at all).
-
Bought the belly bandit but much preferred the hospital one. My nurse brought it to me on day 2 or 3, I think.

Hospital one!!

I was given one at the hospital, it made a huge difference in my recovery. Definitely request one! It made it so much easier to get up from sitting/lying down and I didn't feel as sore when I was walking around while wearing it.

@yoursilverlining: ditto! My doctor called it an ab binder. LOVED mine. Very, very helpful.

Hospital ab binder

I've had 2 csections, and I've never even heard of this! What are they for?
-
I just heard about this from Sherry of YHL, I can't believe hospitals don't always offer them up! Thank you!
-
I wasn't offered one, and did not learn about them until well after my c-section, but I kept thinking the whole time about how nice something like that would be after I left the hospital. I will definitely be buying one if we have another.

My hospital didnt give them (maybe I could have asked, I dunno) but I had a belly bandit ready to go and wore it 24/7 from day 5 when the staples came out for like 3 weeks. Prob overkill but my stomach went down super fast.
