Belly binding after LSCS
It's been 35 days of C-section (LSCS), outer wound is healed and stitch removed. Is it safe to do belly binding? I tried belly binding and feeling little discomfort while sleeping, getting up and bending in both sides of my belly. Is it something to be worried or it will get normal by its own?

Abdominal binders should not be used while sleeping or lying down. You should use them only while going for a walk.
In any case they should not be indicated after 4 weeks.

Belly binding is not advisable as that makes the rectus muscle lose and flabby
