Re: Belly bandit??
not sure how your cousin put on a belt four days after a c-section but its extremely painful. you’ve just had major surgery, you’re bleeding like mad, your sore and tender and your insides have literally been taken out and then put back in. even going to pee is a production, so i would really, extremely, absolutely advise NO ONE to put the belt on so soon after a c-section.
remember, a** lot** of it has to do with your genes and how much weight you put on too. belts can aid your healing and help you getting back into shape, but they’re not miracle workers! the one belt i’ve heard of for c-section’s is called the c-panty - http://www.cpanty.com/ - and thats to minimise scars and hold things in place so you’re not as sore and can move slightly easier. of course everyone has a different experience, but speaking personally, i was a wreck. it took me a full 7 weeks to heal completely and i’m still sore sometimes. i would caution against rushing into something so confining.
it took you 9 months to cook the baby inside you and gain all that weight- give yourself and your body at least 9 months, if not a bit more, to get back to the way you were!
