Belly support after c/s

Did anyone use anything for supporting your stomach after c/s? I saw something on zulily a while ago but didn't want to jump the gun and buy anything without even being pg yet. Now I'm starting to think about it. Did anyone use anything? If, so what did you use? Do you think it helped during your recovery? TIA

    I got one at the hospital, but had to ask for it.

    i didn't have anything after DD1, but don't think i needed it. However, I never knew it was an option- perhaps I will look into this :)

    I got a belly binder at the hospital but only because my L&D nurse was a friend of mine and she got it for me.

    I bought a belly bandit and just a regular postpartum support thing from motherhood maternity. I love wearing them both and think they were very worth it!

    I HIGHLY recommend the ABDOMEND. I bought both the abdomend and the bellybandit and used the abdomend for much longer. By 2 weeks pp, I was down 19lbs, and i'm now 9 weeks, and am smaller than I was pre-pregnancy (and I am not a skinny girl or the type to lose weight fast). My stomach feels firmer than friends who did not use anything.

    I asked when I did my pre-op with the hospital earlier this week.  I was told to ask my OB and she can order one for me.

    I guess I didn't need it because I have never even thought of this. Interesting.

    I would't nuy one, just ask for one at the hospital.  They really helped with the discomfort just with the support.

    Thanks for the responses. I never thought of being able to get anything from the hospital. I will ask my OB about it. My recovery with my first was difficult and I want to know if there is something that could make my next one a little better with having to take care of my toddler.
