    So glad the support belt is working for you...I cannot believe that it isn't a routine thing for them to give mums post CS. Like I said, if I even went 2 hours without having mine on in the early days I would feel it so much more for the rest of the day. I have my 2 already washed and lined up as spares for in hossy and afterwards

    I haven't read all the replies but the hospital was still giving me very strong pain relief when I requested it on day 5 - and they sent me home with filled scripts - the hospital definitely did not expect me to be taking "only" panadol! I think I went home still taking voltaren 50mgs which was double what my husband was given after having 3 wisdom teeth removed (no more than 3x's/day) and tramadol (no more than 4x's/day) when I needed them - plus panadol. My OB's mantra was "there is absolutely no reason to be in pain - speak up if you are"!
