The belt fit comfortably and helped me feel secure by keeping everything held snugly to my body. By things being held close to the body you get a lot of relief from discomfort and pain. The belt also offered extra support at a time when the stomach muscles are just not able to work. It's amazing how a little thing like getting from horizontal to vertical out of bed is a feat in those first few days.
I wore the C Section recovery belt for about 16 days and then only during the evening while sleeping. I wore the Hem-It-In belt for a month. The belts can offer extra support when you are tired, recovering and now carrying around your baby (normally more on one side than another). I would always encourage women to do this in conjunction with getting their core muscle groups working again at full capacity. Now I am actively trying to train and get my muscles activated and functional.

Well, my birthing and labor experience was not what I was planning on, but are they ever? After a healthy and relatively problem free pregnancy, at the age of 41, I prepared for the birth of my son. Using a midwife, and attending conventional HMO care, I took advantage of both systems to ensure that I had a safe birth. |

 When the decision was made to have a C-Section birth with your obstetrician, your health and the baby's health are paramount. The cesarean surgery recovery process involves many things which may include: abdominal pain from the surgery, a hard time getting out of bed, the new incision and c section scar healing process, and avoiding infections! Support and protect your fresh incision so that it does not tear, or open from the extra pregnancy weight. The most important thing is to be prepared, and one way is to have the belt with you in the Hospital, so that before you move around and get up, you support yourself, with our great belt, and reduce your pain. Don't tear your fresh incision and get a big scar!
While your Obstetrician may have done the operation and provide needed medication, Maui Healing Kits provides that extra support, protection and education about the recovery process and scar healing therapy for a softer healthier scar. Created by a Professional Massage therapist who experienced an emergency C Section, she guides you through the many tools she discovered to assist you in a faster and better recovery. Focus on the baby, not the pain! Our kit works in conjunction with your doctor's advise. Please discuss any questions you may have with your doctor, including where the incision will be placed, what kind of stitching they may use to close you up, the pros and cons of staples, stitches or glue, and possibly double stitching your uterus. This helps to create a stronger incision so that a possible VBAC could happen next pregnancy.
Don't think that just because you have been through this before that its going to be any easier or harder than the first time. There is no telling how your body wil respond to anaesthesia or other issues that may come up during your surgery and recovery. Sometimes there are issues with the incision reopening, swelling with blood coming out, or infections occuring either with the incision, kidneys, bladder or breast. We have provided a checklist and warning signs for infections in our book to help you take better care of yourself.
We want you recover quickly so you can feel wonderful and be more available to your new baby and family. You may feel some pain, but it will be so mush less than if you had nothing at all to support your freshly cut abdomen. Please don't let your tissue be unsupported, just hanging out there, as the scarring and chance for complications increases with unsupported and freshly cut skin. They cut 6 layers in all, so it was not an insignificant surgery! Tearing and bleeding can occur, so avoid an incision that opens because of gravity on your abdomen. Be prepared, and wrap yourself in comfort and protection. When you go home, ask for help and be happy to receive the help that is offered. Aloha! |
