No. My friend said her stomach will still kind of pregnant like and it wasn't' comfy to use at all for the first 2 weeks when the swelling started to go down.
Yes. I brought it with me when I had my DS and plan to with this one. If you're going to use one while nursing you may as well have it from the start. The LC showed me some additional ways to use it. Plus, I ended up having a c/s so it kept DS off of my incision.

I'm not planning on it (we're traveling far so trying to keep luggage to a minimum), but if I need it, I can call up my sister who lives close by to bring me one (she has an extra from her babies).
yes i will, i never really used it much for nursing iwth #1 but it was so great to sit on while in a chair (when i wanted out of bed) it helped with some of the uncomfortableness of the after labor pain...like doughnuts for tailbone fractures
Yes because I plan to use it when BF'ing and I hope that the LC at the hospital can critique my positioning whole using it and give me pointers on positioning.
I didn't bring mine. The lactation consultant was glad I didn't. My stomach was still pretty big after delivery and it wouldn't have worked very well anyway. I do use it at home for every feeding though. In the hospital we used a folded blanket or a pillow to prop her up.
I didn't last time, and wish I had. I will have another c/s, and I am taking it this time. I almost had someone bring it to me last time b/c I could have really used it.
If we bring it it, we'll leave it in the car. I'd like to try to learn how to nurse without any special gear so BFing can be as simple and portable as possible down the road. If needed, I can just send DH out to get it.

Probably not. I used the hospital pillows with DS and they worked just fine.
Same for me, it'll be only for a couple of days, hopefully.

Yep!
I loved having it last time and I know I'll love having it this time.
