Which kind Of carrier do you have? I'm currently using a Kokadi Flip Baby, and because he's so tiny, the waist strap is rather high. But I've never had discomfort with wearing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-and-post-partum-c-section-discomfort#post-2406096 Thu, 31 Dec 2015 16:02:04 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2406096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never had that problem. I agree to try the waist higher. Mine doesn't go near my incision. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-and-post-partum-c-section-discomfort#post-2406042 Thu, 31 Dec 2015 14:58:14 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2406042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with the PPs. I've always worn the carrier closer to my natural waist so it was never near my scar to begin with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-and-post-partum-c-section-discomfort#post-2405810 Thu, 31 Dec 2015 11:54:02 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2405810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: try wearing the waist high! Like what @Banana330 said, around your natural waist. It's much more comfortable regardless of scar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-and-post-partum-c-section-discomfort#post-2405654 Thu, 31 Dec 2015 10:28:17 +0000 pastemoo 2405654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe that is why I switched to wrapping? Never felt super comfy with any ssc and tried several. In the newborn weeks I had a bjorn but that has no waist band, maybe that is why it worked for me </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-and-post-partum-c-section-discomfort#post-2405647 Thu, 31 Dec 2015 10:24:47 +0000 Banana330 2405647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear my SSC higher up like around my natural waist, but I never had a problem wearing it post c-section perhaps because of this. I find it more comfortable that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-and-post-partum-c-section-discomfort#post-2405513 Thu, 31 Dec 2015 09:26:09 +0000 ValentineMommy 2405513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 5m pp and my incision is definitely still uncomfortable.</p> <p>I can wear my ssc and tight-ish pants, but I definitely feel it rubbing the incision. I've found that wearing high waisted compression underwear helps make it feel a little better and more supported. I got mine in a 2-pack from Destination Maternity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-and-post-partum-c-section-discomfort#post-2405352 Thu, 31 Dec 2015 07:03:37 +0000 BSB 2405352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm almost 4 months post partum and I don't like tight pants or SSC on my pelvic area. It's not pain I feel just discomfort or pressure from my c-section. Maybe it's the numbing pain I still feel.</p> <p>Anyone have a c-section and can't find SSC comfortable? I know I can still use a SSC to back wear when the twins start sitting unassisted. </p>
