I'm curious about how long it generally takes to recover after having a C-section. I'm also wondering if it's safe to begin using a maternity belt to support my abdomen during the recovery process.

After a C-section delivery, it typically takes about 6-8 weeks to fully recover. During this time, it is important to rest, avoid heavy lifting, and follow your doctor's post-operative instructions. You can use a maternity belt to support your abdomen and help with pain relief. It is recommended to wear the maternity belt for about 4-6 weeks post-delivery to provide support to the abdominal muscles.
