s/o Boppy...using it post c-section?

chrlyr

I thought about bringing my Boppy pillow to the hospital, but now I'm wondering how comfortable it is to use immediately after a c-section and if I should even bother bringing it. Any c-section mamas have any input?

I'm curious too.  It's in my vehicle right now along with the hospital bag as I was originally going to bring it but now that my chances of a c-section have skyrocketed I'm not sure if it will be worth it.

For my c-section the boppy was great because it relieved the pressure of me actually having to lift my baby to feed.

I used mine in the hospital.  It was four years ago so I don't remember exactly how soon I used it - I think I might have started out with pillows (easier to do the football hold that way) in the first day or so after my c/s - but there are pictures of me using it in the hospital, so I definitely used it before I was discharged.  I don't remember it bothering my incision at all.

I'm bringing mine. Like I said in the other post, even if I don't BF, I'll still be using it even when I'm just holding her, it helps.

Bring it. I used mine last time around my waist on drive home it helped cushin the bumps in road.

I had a c-section and couldn't have fed Wyatt without the boppy.  It made me feel protected when I was feeding and holding him.  Plus it helped DH because he's still scared he's going to break him.

My Breast Friend pillow was a GOD SEND after my c/s with DS.

At my birthing class they suggested we bring it in case we have a c-section. I guess it's more comfortable than regular pillows with the incision. Plus then you get the practice for when you go home.

At my childbirth class I was told to bring the boopy and confy pillows, as the hospital ones suck. My only concern is getting them contaminated at the hospital.
