I distinctly remember squeezing into my regular jeans at 6 weeks PP and feeling great about them fitting...but the incision pain was still there so I didn't wear them for a while. I'm now 13 weeks PP and wearing everything I did pre-pregnancy without any pain. As an aside, the nerves around the scar are super strange now-I can't feel anything around the area, and my OB said I won't until about 6-8 months PP. It's a strange sensation! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-incision-sensitivity-amp-clothing#post-2063535 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 22:33:20 +0000 marionberry 2063535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore the belly binder they gave me in the hospital for weeks after labor under my clothes, so I think it prevented me from feeling much irritation. Plus I wore a lot of yoga pants that folded on top, maxi skirts and maternity leggings, so there wasn't a lot tight pressing up against my scar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-incision-sensitivity-amp-clothing#post-2062950 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 15:57:42 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2062950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't had this, but haven't worn much other than yoga pants. I'm in regular jeans today at six weeks pp and am feeling ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-incision-sensitivity-amp-clothing#post-2062920 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 15:39:38 +0000 artsyfartsy 2062920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: I couldn't get the car seat unhooked out of the base (new mom probs) and I fought and pulled with it out of frustration. I way overdid it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-incision-sensitivity-amp-clothing#post-2062583 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 12:56:51 +0000 californiadreams 2062583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember this being an issue....probably because I wore maternity jeans for like 3 months pp! I didn't fit into any of my prepreg stuff and wasn't ready to accept i had to buy bigger sizes. By the time i did, i guess it was less sensitive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-incision-sensitivity-amp-clothing#post-2062582 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 12:56:47 +0000 Happygal 2062582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Danizaur: owwwww . How did that happen? It's a good reminder to continue to take it easy.</p> <p>@wonderstruck: going to check it out on Amazon right now!</p> <p>I'm jealous of the summer moms and the maxi dresses! That would be really nice right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-incision-sensitivity-amp-clothing#post-2062552 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 12:46:34 +0000 Espion 2062552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: We're delivery date buddies and my incision is still sore when I try to wear jeans and sit down. If I remember with my last one, it took a month or so? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-incision-sensitivity-amp-clothing#post-2062546 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 12:45:28 +0000 wonderstruck 2062546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first time around I had my baby in May, so I got away with maxi dresses for a long time. But this time I had to find something to wear under pants because it took a long time for my incision to stop being so sensitive. I ended up buying something called a c-panty (I'm sure you can find it on Amazon or wherever.) It looks almost like shapewear, but on the inside there is a silicone piece that covers where your scar is to keep it from getting irritated or being in pain when your clothes press/rub on that spot. It worked very well for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-incision-sensitivity-amp-clothing#post-2062544 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 12:44:33 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 2062544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember, but I do remember wearing over the belly jeans, yoga pants, and maxi dresses a lot in the beginning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-incision-sensitivity-amp-clothing#post-2062542 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 12:44:05 +0000 Mamasig 2062542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A few weeks? Maybe 3? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-incision-sensitivity-amp-clothing#post-2062529 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 12:39:26 +0000 yoursilverlining 2062529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't remember exactly when I was really comfortable with clothing against my incision, but I remember wearing the belly band for a loooong time after. I gave birth in summer, so it was easy to wear dresses (what I mainly wear anyways), and that's definitely what I preferred to wear after Lo's birth, for at least a month or more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-incision-sensitivity-amp-clothing#post-2062523 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 12:34:58 +0000 artsyfartsy 2062523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 6 weeks or so. It would have been earlier but I popped my incision at 4 weeks so I had to heal a little longer. Still now at almost a year PP I don't like clothes to rub against it though. But that's a mental thing more than physical. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-incision-sensitivity-amp-clothing#post-2062516 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 12:32:33 +0000 Happygal 2062516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I delivered on January 22nd and my incision is healing nicely. It's still pretty sensitive though, so I'm really limited in my clothing options. Maternity pants tend to hit right at the incision spot, and pre-pregnancy jeans are still a bit too tight.</p> <p>If you had a c-section, when did your incision area stop being so sensitive? Did you pad the area with something so you could wear pants other than yoga/lounge wear? I'm tired of feeling frumpy all the time and need some tips! </p>
