C-sections

Question for moms who have had a c-section before(Abdominal binder)

I will be having my third C-section when this one is due.  Has anyone used an abdominal binder post C-section?  I've heard they can be helpful in recovery time and pain management.  I figure with this being my third it may be worth a shot.  Any advice?  Recommendations?

  • I had a binder with both of my c/s - it is very helpful. Your hospital should provide one for you, just ask.

  • The hospital provided mine, as well. It was amazing! I wore it for about 6 weeks. Without it I felt very uncomfortable.

  • Yes, the hospital provided mine. I wore it for a while.
  • That is good. I had a c section 30 years ago and nobody told me about an abdominal binder. I can say today that the site still is painful and I have finally been forced to massage it. I had been advised to massage it from the beginning, but I am squeamish about blood and guts so I had issues about touching it. Today I can still heal that area with massage, but it would have been better if I started 30 years ago.
