Post c section binding? Support? Corset?

[helena]

Hi all,
Anyone used one of the support corsets or belts? I remember with my last section that getting from a sitting to a standing position was so much easier if I pressed on my incision area with a flat hand. So. Am thinking that a support belt of some sor may be good.
Because the incision is so low I am not sure if the belt type, like one made by medela and others, will be low enough. Here is an example: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Underworks-Post-Delivery-Girdle-Belt/dp/B00478NDZA

The corset ones look so expensive but maybe they will support the right area? Thee are some knickers style ones that look ok too.

Any experiences ladies?

I really do want one for support, to help me get about easier in the weeks after my op, not for getting a pre pregnancy body back (I need my pre 3 babies body back lol )

I was given a tubigrip during my pregnancy by the hospital physiotherapist - if you can get one of them, that'd help for support.

I had a support belt like your first link. It helped but the only problem was that it would slide up and so the edge would hit right up against the wound. So I had to pull it down farther than usual which would cause it to fold up under my clothes and look real crazy. But it did help.

I have one that they put on me at the hospital. I love it. I definitely think it is great for support. I am day 18 from surgery and took it off just now for a bit to decide if I still need to wear it.

thats the one- i would say it supports aswell, i feel so much supported with it on, but i would say it depends on your size, i have it on the tightest button hole and its snug- i am a size 14, so i expect if u r smaller it wouldnt feel like a great support x

i didnt even know u could get those things but after my last csection i wore those control pants that are sposed to hold your stomach in they were 3 quid in primark an they were brilliant! x

The hospital gave me a binder that I wear most of the time especially if I go out even 3 weeks postpartum. Just seems to help my abdomen feel normal again and comfortable and helps from my incision from hurting.
