Re: Velcro-girdle for post-op C-sect'sFrom: Christopher (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 30 Jun 1999 11:59:53 -0400
>Cut backs at many hospitals have caused them to not offer the >"velcro-girdle" for their post-op C-sect. patients. I didn't get one >until my 2nd C-sect. I truly feel that the girdle is a great help. A >wrapped sheet with tape or a book just does NOT do it. (The girdle >helps a patient feel like their insides wont "fallout" whenever they >cough or move, etc) >I believe if most women knew about the girdle the would pay out of their >own pockets if they had too. (It's only about $20?) >My question is how can women find this girdle if it is not offered at >their hospital? I know a co-worker who's in her last trimester of her >4th impending C-section. Just the suggestion of this girdle has eased >some of her anxiety. I've never even heard of this. When I had my C-section the hospital Women's Auxiliary provided special little pillows they made to splint the incision when you got up, coughed, sneezed, walked etc...It was just the right size. Interested to know that there is a product manufactured for this purpose. Karen
