I’d be intrigued to know too, I have had one before but it was unplanned so didn’t pack anything specific 😂 I’d recommend getting some peppermint capsules, tea bags etc for trapped wind. I did have a belly band which helped me feel a bit more protected. All the usual things you would need for a vaginal birth, big knickers, incontinence pants/ big pads etc, nothing that will sit on the incision. Stock up on pain killers :) x

Walking after c section

How long did it take for you to walk normal after a c section. Meaning feeling at ease normal paced when walking like prior to the c section.

Nub theory

I’ve just had my 12 weeks scan today.
Do you guys think I’m having a boy or a girl?

To belly band or not to belly band post surgery

I’m headed into my second csection (planned this time) and am wondering if most people are using belly bands? My OB advised it’s not necessary but I see so many ads for them about assisting in recovery.
Did you use a band?
At what week post surgery did you start? Did it hinder the scars healing being covered ?
Do you have a certain one you recommend?

Help please!

Hi, just looking for some advice. Been suffering with back pain and pelvic girdle throughout pregnancy, and now entered third trimester and it’s gone up another notch and pretty unbearable! Think triggered from a 3 hour drive and back the next day for a work event earlier this week 😞
Has anyone got any quick help tips they found worked well?
