[quote=Anonymous]The hospital gave me a compression belly band thing after my c-section. I wore it almost 24 hrs/day for the first week (maybe longer). Definitely helped me feel more stable, and probably helped with the mental image looking in the mirror. My legs were incredibly swollen from all of the fluids pumped into me with the pitocin. I understood why it happened, but for me seeing my swollen legs was the hardest part of the first week. It does get better, just want to be another voice for the point that this is both normal/expected and can be hard to see in the mirror. [/quote]
