Abdominal binder?

Question

The hospital supplied one. But I didn’t think to ask questions about it.
Did you wear one? How long? Did you sleep in it? 
Everything feels a lot better with it on. Not using it to try to slim down or anything. 1 week Pp and it helps with abdominal and back pain.

Answer

I bought one prior to my csection, the day I had her, I asked my doctor when I should start wearing one. He told me not to wear one because your abdominal muscles need to start working again and using a band inhibits this process. Im 17 weeks post partum and I haven't used one.

Answer

I used it 24/7 until I stopped bleeding, then I got me a very nice post surgery griddle and used it for a couple months.

Answer

I wear it as often as I can.

Answer

I was never given one in the hospital! I started wearing my belly band after one week

Answer

I absolutely loved mine and wore it constantly. Sometimes I would sleep in it sometimes I wouldn’t. It just depended on how my stomach felt. I think I wore mine for about a month.

Answer
