    Question Gut sucking underwear after a c/s...?

    Just wanting to put it out to everyone and seek your thoughts / opinions.

    How long, if at all, would you hold off on wearing gut sucking underwear post c/s?

    I'm getting married in 40 days and had a c/s two weeks ago, and I would love to hide the post baby bump a little. My stomach isn't sore at all now, but all the same I would only need to wear it for the dress fitting and on the 'big day'...

    Thanks

    I'd say you would be fine by that time. I have a corset type thing that I was going to sell on Ebay if you are interested. Comes with matching gut sucking in undies.. LOL

    I never wore the undies - but did wear the corset thing - its been washed though

    You're probably really skinny though - and I'm just a porker.. LOL

    Google C-Panty, they have gut sucking undies that are specifically designed for after a c/s, they have silicone which helps with the scar tissue as well as the gut sucking part. I haven't tried them but they're definitely something I'd consider after my next bub

    I wore mine about 5 weeks post c section as I found they helped with support and never had any dramas - if anything it helped me feel more secure IYKWIM
