Recovery
Packing your Hospital Bag for a Cesarean
For immediately after – the first few days to the first week – use mesh hospital pants (these can be washed up to 10 times and dry rapidly) – so easy to use in hospital. They allow the area around the scar to breathe and can hold a maternity pad in place. See Hospital Pants
For 1 week to 6 months after – Use a panty that provides support and promotes scar recovery. As scars areas heal, they become swollen and itchy – you need a panty that promotes recovery and gives support during this time. See C-Panty
