Can i wear a gurtle / support belt after a c-section?

Yes: This should not be a problem as long as the incision does not have any signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, pus, opening of the wound, or heat.

Girdle ok: Wearing a girdle as extra added support for your abdominal muscles is perfectly fine.
