  I used this...I didn't need it very long though.  Do you have a belly band from when you were PG can you use that in the mean time?

  You can spend a lot on these belts..this is one of the cheaper ones. 

  Don't overexert yourself and at the same time keep moving the more you are up and about the quicker you will heal.  Kind of have to find a balance.

  I do have a belly band, but have NO idea where it is after this move we just made! LOL  That's a good idea though just for some light support. Maybe I'll run up to Target and buy one.

  Oddly enough, I do feel better when I'm up moving around. It hurts the most after I've been sitting or laying for 30 minutes or more and then get back up again.

  I got a hernia belt from the hospital and it saved me! I only wore it for about a week but it made so much difference!

  I got an ACE back/belly support belt from Rite Aid that was like $12. It was made out of black neoprene and it worked great for me (I didn't have a c/s).
