C-section Procedure

Hello mommies and mommies to be! I'm almost 32 weeks, scheduled for a C-section at 39 weeks and would like to know how long after the procedure can I start using a postpartum girdle? Also, can anyone recommend a good one?

They will tell you to not rely on it or it could make you lose you're abdominal muscles.

Same here I received mine from the hospital and wore it as soon as I got home.

The hospital gave me one to wear when I could get out of bed 24 hours after my c-section.  I'm not sure of the brand or anything though.  It helped a lot!
