Hi all,

I had a c section 7 Days ago. I had the plaster taken off today.

I have a bigger tummy so tummy goes over the scar.

All the tips and tricks to look after this please?

Thank you so much!

have you got a belly band? They really helped several of my friends after their C-sections x

Mildly medicated talcum power patted on after your bath/shower helps keep it dry and sweat rash free.

Following this for tips x

I used to crease a non-scented pantiliner and wedge it into the crease where the scar was under my stomach to keep it dry.

Hope you are recovering well and congratulations.

My tip isn't very classy (but then nothing about pregnancy/child birth/post-partum is!): giant sanitary towel horizontally stuck into enormous pants across scar. But try to air it as much as you can - it's trickier to keep dry with a bigger tummy!
