Postpartum Abdominal Binder

After delivery — especially a C-section — your core muscles are weakened and separated. An abdominal binder provides gentle compression that supports your midsection, reduces pain when you cough or laugh (which you will, despite everything), and helps you feel physically held together during a time when your body feels like it is falling apart. Hospitals often provide one; if not, buy the Belly Bandit or similar.
