Post C Belly Band - For The Petite Woman

I go in the 27th for my C Section and I still don't have a good band. I'm short, and my torso is disproportionally short compared to the rest of me. All these bands are too long, I'm hoping to find something in the elastic family so it's not as uncomfortable and I can fold the top down so it doesn't go over the boobs. Any suggestions about a non traditional compression garment for me? Ideally it would also have built in "underwear" or legs so it doesn't ride up (with my hips right under my belly button, it pushes them up when I move).

  • I'm really petite too (5 foot 1), and am about to have my third c-section. The last two times I actually just used the band the hospital gave me, it wasn't too long.

  • But I'm still eager to hear if someone knows of something even better, I hadn't even really considered that.
  • Ive been using the bands the hospital gives you. They gave me one thats looser and a tighter one. Im 11days post csection and tomorrow ill move to the tighter. I did buy one off amazon..but still a little too sore to wear it yet. But definately ask the hospital for extra bands. Like the ones they use to hold the monitors on.
