Belly band
Hi ladies, I’m from the uk. London specifically. I asked my doctor about belly bands given after a c section at the hospital and she said no, apparently Im the first person to ask her this. I thought it was normal practice? Although I didn’t receive one for my previous two but I thought they would if i asked. After my second section my insides felt like they were all falling apart and it was difficult to walk, I know a belly band would of helped loads with feeling ‘put together’ if you know what I mean. I’ve also read and heard about a lot of mamas that have used one to help with this. This is not by all means to lose weight, but a belly band to not feel like all my organs are on the floor! I wanted to ask, for those that have previously used one, which would you recommend? And did you wear one right away like on day 2?

Ooh I didn’t know we could ask for this!!
Could be an American thing! lol
So I do live in America but I had no clue about the belly band until one of my nurses brought it in and said it should help a lot. Which it really did. Thats sad if you cant. Can you ask someone at the hospital about it before hand that way they can give you a definite yes or no. I hope they do.
Def an American thing.
The belly band is amazing especially after C-section. I think it’s just an American thing though.
Idk where you’re located but I’m in the US and the first time they just gave me one. I was too fat so it didn’t fit and I definitely had the organs falling out feeling. This time I asked for one and it fit and my healing felt like it went much faster
I got it i want to say the 2nd maybe the 3rd day. And yes I put it around where my csection incision was.
