I feel like I need a extra support when getting up out of bed and chairs... i feel tightening and pulling when I try to get up on my belly any recommendations?

when you were recovering from C-section did you use a c-section support belt? did it help? which one and where did you get it?

 TIA!

    It was hard/painful to get up from a chair or bed for the first few weeks. It slowly gets better. I didn't use the support belt, but hear they help. GL!

    It does hurt for the first few weeks after having major surgery, esp getting out of bed.  I couldn't sleep flat and had to prop a bunch of pillows up.  I also had a belt that the hospital gave me to wear and it helped me out alot.  I used it for awhile too, so it didn't feel like my belly was laying ontop of my incision.  GL and HTH!

    The hospital gave me one but it didn't help much. I remember how uncomfortable it was everytime I had to get up, cough, sneeze or laugh. It slowly gets better. Your son is super cute BTW Smile.

    It does get better - I'm getting around SO much more easily than I was 2 weeks ago.  I didn't have a belt either.  For getting out of bed, I had a much easier time when I rolled over on my side and got up from that position.

    I think everyone is different but rolling over on my side to get up seemed easier.  Although I was fine with getting up after about 4 days.  But I think that could have been me pushing myself because Casey was in the NICU and I had to go see her.

    oh yeah, everything hurt for a long time.  it was hard to get up and down.... in fact, i slept on the couch because it was easier to roll off of it then to try and sit up. :(
