Belly Wraps!

Hey Ladies! Any mama's having repeat csections or scheduled 1st time csections & have used or planning on wrapping? Any suggestions on incision friendly wraps? I want to start at least a week after birth seeing as how I won't be doing anything to strain that area for a while & home with baby 3 mnts.

Your welcome! If the hospital doesn't offer ask your OB or nurse after delivery. Also, if you end up having to purchase one try bellybandit.com

Thanks! I will be having a repeat csection after 8 yrs. With my son they didn't give me one & I didn't think to ask so I'm not sure they even do it where I live in Florida. I was young & honestly didn't think about "after I healed". Bt I went down very nicely. After 4 week's I didn't even look like I'd had a baby. I dnt think I'll be messed up bt I'm big at jus 6 mnts & ALL belly & after 8 yrs I have no delusions. Lol I'm sure I won't jus bounce back like that wit no effort this time around. Wts a good website?

This will be our 4th cesarean birth and you will definitely want to wrap post baby. I wouldn't go out just yet and purchase one. The hospital will provide you with one after your cesarean and they are actually amazing. It's Velcro so you can adjust it as you lose baby weight. After a while it will bunch up in spots and may not look as smooth under clothes, but I used the hospitals at least for 2-months after cesarean. After that, I purchased one online with the hooks instead (corset style).
