Caesarean Tummy Belts - What size to get?

[Gemlou78]

Hi I was just wondering if any of you have used the belly bandit type belts for after your sections? I'll be having a planned section at the end of January.

How do you know what size to get as I don't know what size I'm going to be after I've had my LO?

Any advice would be greatly appeciated

I just ordered one off Amazon- Gabrialla I think is the brand. It gave sizing info for your waist measurement, and many of the user reviews said to order a size smaller than you would normally wear. Maybe see if you can find some reviews that indicate the best way to determine size. And because they are adjustable, there is some leeway in making them larger/smaller. This was my 3rd c-section and I must say it feels SO good to hold everything in-I've only had it 2 days but it's really helping ease my recovery.
