how long to wear abdominal belt after c-section - #25503

Lucas

I am really struggling with this question about how long to wear abdominal belt after c-section because I just had my baby a few weeks ago. The recovery has been tougher than I thought. My doctor suggested wearing an abdominal belt to help with support, but I didn't really get specifics on for how long. Like, I wear it most of the day, but some days it just feels too tight or uncomfortable. Should I take it off for a bit to let my stomach breath? I worry if I stop wearing it too soon, I won't heal correctly. I heard different things from people around me, some say 4-6 weeks, others swear by longer. Also, I still feel little twinges and pressure in my belly, so I'm not sure if that’s normal or if it has anything to do with the belt. Can anybody share their experiences or advice on how long to wear abdominal belt after c-section? Help!
