You *can* but you might not like it, as it might irritate your scar. For the first 4 weeks or so I was in slouchy / loose trousers or leggings. Then I put jeans on to go out but after about an hour or so would be desperate to get out of them again. Probably felt comfortable in them again about 8 weeks or so.

It's best to wait a while as it can irritate the wound or even infect it. Baggy lose jeans that aren't too tight would be ok

You can but you may not want to , the waist may rub and irritate the incision site unless they are maternity jeans which have the soft hand around the tummy

I found my maternity jeans were atrocious post c section as the hard bit is exactly where the scar is, whereas normal jeans cover a lot higher up. I had to buy a couple of pairs of cheap ish jeans in one size bigger than pre pregnancy. still wearing them now but could probably go to my old ones quite soon (4 months pp).

Do you think primark would do them in Cardiff x

yeah, they’re just normal jeans, for me one size bigger because I’m slightly bigger around tummy after c section. They’re not special post pregnancy jeans or anything, sorry if I explained that badly.

okay no worries I have a look online see if they are any that I like x

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
