C section Mammies what are you wearing?

Question

I had my second c section 7 weeks ago, but I’m really struggling with what to wear. I’ve basically lived in a pair of maternity sweatpants since then as everything else irritates my incision site. My maternity jeans have a seam just at that shelf above the incision site which is still quite tender so can’t wear them. I even bought some postpartum jeans but they have a seam along the midline which also irritates the site. 
Anyone have any recommendations or commiserations for me??? So fed up of looking like a slob!!

Answer

Leggings. Leggings everywhere lol. With the right shirt/ jacket/ shoes they don’t look slobby at all

Answer

Living in high waisted leggings! I bought a couple pairs and sized up just so I’m comfortable.

Answer

Mostly leggings and pajama pants. I feel sloppy and gross most days but nothing else fits quite right yet.

Answer

Pajama pants daily. High wasted leggings if I’m trying to look presentable. I had my first csection 5 yrs ago. I have worn jeans 2 times since then and extremely uncomfortable both times

Answer

Compression leggings from Zella (Nordstrom has them) as well as a lot of smocked dresses - they are forgiving in the waist and if your boobs are triple the size from breastfeeding.

Answer

I had lost some weight before getting pregnant and held onto all the clothes that were a little too big for me to get me through the transitional pregnancy and pp times. Also just keep with the high waisted underwear so it acts as a barrier with things rubbing against the incision as much.

Answer

Im still in sweat pants and grannie pants 7 weeks pp. my pre pregnancy cloths fit but irritate my incision I only go grocery shopping so its not a problem for now.

Answer

I didn’t have a csection, but for postpartum I like old navy’s pull on rockstar jeggings. They have a higher panel so it holds in mom pooch, but it’s also high enough that I don’t think it would hit your scar like the seam on maternity pants do.

Answer

I wear my maternity leggins at the moment, they work fine, I also wear hig waisted granny panties, that cover my scar, my regular panties fit me but the hem is at the scar site and that rubbs on me and itches then. But I don't know what I will do if it gets colder, I hope the irritation feeling goes away.
