As a postpartum nurse and a C-section mama x2- this is the ultimate guide to postpartum.
A good abdominal binder is essential after a cesarean. It helps everything feel nice and secure. Couldn’t live without mine.
Postpartum Belly Band After Birth Brace
Sleeping at an incline is the easiest way to get comfortable after a C-section. Less stretching and pulling on your incision and easier to sit up.

A peri bottle that is angled upwards is definitely a must. Anything that makes postpartum a little easier!

These just help to hold everything in and avoids unnecessary rubbing on your incision line.
