Prob overkill but my stomach went down super fast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-support-band#post-1592747 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 11:22:16 +0000 BananaPancakes 1592747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-support-band#post-1592645 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 10:51:08 +0000 Boogs 1592645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just heard about this from Sherry of YHL, I can't believe hospitals don't always offer them up! Thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-support-band#post-1591400 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 22:19:18 +0000 bunnylovesbear 1591400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had 2 csections, and I've never even heard of this! What are they for? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-support-band#post-1591050 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 20:32:38 +0000 autumnlove 1591050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hospital ab binder </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-support-band#post-1591046 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 20:30:20 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1591046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: ditto! My doctor called it an ab binder. LOVED mine. Very, very helpful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-support-band#post-1591042 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 20:29:26 +0000 Veggiemama 1591042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-support-band#post-1590768 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 19:37:15 +0000 MrsH 1590768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hospital one!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-support-band#post-1590763 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 19:35:57 +0000 Madison43 1590763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bought the belly bandit but much preferred the hospital one. My nurse brought it to me on day 2 or 3, I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-support-band#post-1590514 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 18:36:01 +0000 Turd Ferguson 1590514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-support-band#post-1590495 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 18:27:46 +0000 yoursilverlining 1590495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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.</p> <p>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. </p> <p>I would HIGHLY recommend wearing a support band following a c-section!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/c-section-support-band#post-1590484 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 18:24:08 +0000 Boogs 1590484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone heard of this or had experience with one? If so, would you recommend one? Which kind? </p>
