How long for binder?

My OB ordered an abdominal binder as part of my post partum orders, but I completely forgot to ask how long I'm supposed to wear it. How long did your doctor say to wear it?

    Just wear it until you feel like you don't need the support anymore. I'm 7 weeks pp and I'm trying to wean myself off of the binder... Its addictive.

    I was never offered a binder for either if my previous csections. I've been hearing more and more about them so I guess I need to ask my OB about it!

    Sort, no advice here just thinking out loud ::mobile smilie::

    I highly recommend them. It pushes everything back in, my belly was gone in two weeks and it didn't even look like I had been pregnant, and the compression helps with stability of your core while you are healing so that you don't strain anything.

    I didn't like the one I got in the hospital so I bought the Babies R Us postpartum support, they are around 30 bucks. You'll need to get a smaller size band after a few weeks as you lose the inches.

    I didn't have a binder so I don't know the answer....but can you share what name you chose for your DD?!


    After a very long naming process, we decided upon Wren Alexandra. Once we saw her we just knew and it fits her perfectly!

    I didn't know anything about them when I had my cs with DS, but heard about them on TB so I asked my OB. I have a hospital one and love it. It definitely gives a feeling of security and stability in your stomach and helps with sitting and standing. I also like that it smoothes the tummy area under my clothes!

    Haha! Unfortunately the tummy isn't quite so smooth without the binder, but I guess that's to be expected!
