Can i wear girdle 2 weeks after c section.

If you had a c section birth or other complications you might have nurses checking on you often which might make it a pain though. The first week after your c section you can expect to feel some numbness and soreness at the incision site. It s recommended that you start using your girdle right after you give birth for the maximum benefit. Wearing an abdominal binder as soon as possible after childbirth no matter if you delivered vaginally or with a c section works wonders for your healing process.

I would suggest the wrap around girdle like the one they give you in the hospital if you are talking about spanx type girdles i would probably wait until you are at least a month past the c. I had my baby a week ago october 24th and i ve been told to wear a girdle as soon as possible to tighten up the tummy area. You should wear it as often as possible too. You should feel like your lower back is supported even though your adbominal muscles are not yet able to do this job on their own.

It s normal for your scar to be slightly raised puffy and even darker than your normal skin tone so don t be alarmed.
