Csect Binder

Is it necc to wear the abdominal binder given by the hospital? I stopped wearing mine 1 week pp due to an allergic rash. I tried wearing it again recently (currently at 2 weeks pp) but I feel so much more pressure and discomfort/soreness at wound area when walking around. Should i still force myself to wear the binder? Or is it ok to forgo wearing it?

Hi Mama, The binder shouldn’t be causing discomfort. How is your wound healing? It shouldn’t look red and wet. If it is, please consult your doctor. Maybe try wearing the binder for 4 hours a day to start and increase hours gradually to help your body adjust. The binder is suppose to help with your healing.

Hi Lena! The wound is actually healing well. It’s dry and not red at all, which is why it puzzles me as to why I seem to be the only one finding discomfort in wearing the binder :/
