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.

I don't remember, but I do remember wearing over the belly jeans, yoga pants, and maxi dresses a lot in the beginning.

@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?

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.

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.

@Happygal: I would say by 8 weeks PP it started to feel less sensitive to being touched on my incision (by clothes as well as my kicking son!). 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!
