After C-section, my doctor ask me to put on the girdle immediately. She said it could help to hold the position so it would not hurt that much. Why you have to wait later?
My doctor also gave me some clear (silicone like) bandage to put on so the mark will be less obvious in the future.
My daughter is 21 months now and I still feel itchy la.
I wore a very ugly one, really hard right after c-section to hold the position the first month. Dr. strongly suggested me to wear even though I hate it so much. Then a changed to a nicer looking and softer one after moon sitting to keep the figure.
You are supposed to wear it 24 hrs. I wore it when I was in the hospital day and night. The Dr. and nurses always come to tighten it for me as I made it really loose when I slept on the bed or when I went to toilet. You better wear it la.
Dr. helped me to "cool" the girdle right after I came out from the operation room. The girdle should cover the wound. The girdle I got from the hospital is very long, it cover right under my breast all the way to the hip. That's why the lower part keep going upward when I slept or after I went to toilet. I have to pull up the girdle so I could wee wee.
I was worried about hurting the wound at the time, too. The trick is too make it really tight so it won't scratch your body that often. If you still worried, maybe you should wait till your wound gets better. I was ok at that time because the nurses keep tightening for me so I know the strength I should use to be able to tighten it myself. I understand your feeling completely. Wait for a few days until your feel comfortable.
Better not "cool" in this way la. If you "cool" right above the wound, the edge of the girdle might hurt your wound when you bend over. Anyway. Take care and make sure you take more rest as it is very important for you this month. If you can keep a good rest and good nutrient, your health and beauty will look even better before pregnancy.
I heard from my "ui Yuet" person that it would benefit for life.
If oo is a good boy all the time, so there must be a reason he becomes cranky at night. maybe weewee, pupu, hot, cold, hungry, stomach ache, tired.......... so you have to be patient to comfort him and find out the reason why he cries. I have problem understanding my daughter when she was smaller. but you will understand and communicate better with your baby later on.
