@Elizabeth Thank you cause I’ve literally been wanting to cry every time I cough 😭
I heard the belly band is very helpful. I have a scheduled c section in June and very worried about the recovery!
Wear the binder! My biggest regret after my first is that I didn't wear it. As soon as it's healed, start rubbing it to help with breaking down the scar tissue.
A small pillow will become your best friend for everything! Coughing. Rolling in bed. Getting out of a chair. Use it every time you need to move
Second the pillow! A squishmallow works great
Belly binder!!!
From my experience I had one 2 weeks ago and the first 2 weeks was hell but I was told to walk as much as you can thats what helps with healing . But this will be week 3 for me and so far im doing better.
Whenever I had to cough, I had a small pillow nearby to apply pressure to my incision. It helped a lot.
