Incision pain with Belly Bandit?

TobieRose

I wore my Belly Bandit for the first time yesterday for about 6 or 7 hours. Today my incision feels more irritated than it has been, and I feel some internal pain as well ... kind of where I imagine the uterine incision would be, although I don't really know for sure. It's not severe pain but it's noticeable, more than I've experienced in the past few days. (My section was two weeks ago today.)

Anyone else experience this? I'm a bit nervous t wear it again, but maybe the pain means it was doing something good and my body's complaining about the lack of support?

Pain usually doesn't mean good things. Do you have it low enough to fully cover the incision? Also do you turn it so the seam is off to a side and not the middle.

I didn't get mine until 4 weeks so I was probably healed up a bit more than you but I haven't had any pain while wearing it.

Hmm, I have been wearing it with the seam in the middle. Actually I think the seam is probably right over the place where my incision is most irritated ... duh, now I feel silly. Thanks, I will try rotating it and see if that helps!

I'd say maybe rubbing or sitting on it weird- I never wore it for that long though. I wore it in the hospital until I was used to getting in and out of bed then stopped.
