Abdomend C-Section Recovery Kit giveaway

**CLOSED**
**WINNER: random.org #31, congrats Marisa! Winner has been emailed and has 48 hours to respond before a new winner is chosen. Thanks to all who entered and thanks to Abdomend for sponsoring!**

I had an unplanned c-section December 27, 2009, with the birth of my first. I am still recovering and ask anyone who has gone through this – it’s hard. Especially with a newborn! I was told not to take the stairs, not lift anything heavier than my baby, no physical activity, etc. Pain is better now (4 wk pp), but especially at the beginning it was very hard to get out of bed or off the couch. I routinely took pain meds that made me fall asleep sitting up.. mid-sentence even! And at the same time took care of baby Ryan. There had to be something out there to help, right?!

Introducing… Abdomend! This c-section recovery kit comes with a Bikini Belt that is to be worn immediately after your surgery and a Hem-It-In belt that’s worn 2+ weeks after the c-section. There’s also a skin brush and a guide with recovery information and massage techniques for scar care.

The belts help reduce pain and accelerate your recovery. I feel like it also helps take in my belly! They really are comfortable to wear. A couple days ago I asked on twitter if sharp pain in the belly was normal with certain movements. It is, but… the pain is basically gone if I’m wearing the Abdomend. I can laugh without worrying about the pain! The skin brush reduces swelling and ingrown hairs. The guide shows you techniques on how to use the brush to move fluids to reduce swelling and ways to compress your belly to minimize scar appearance.

The belt can also be used for support during pregnancy (& to help lessen stretch marks), after a vaginal birth to support your uterus and tighten your belly, or after any abdominal surgery!

Having a c-section, especially an unplanned one, can be stressful and traumatizing. Having the Abdomend can help make recovery a bit easier on you. You can buy the belts individually or as a kit.

One lucky reader will WIN their own Deluxe c-section recovery kit! Comes with both belts (Bikini Belt and Hem It In Belt), guide book, and skin brush. Value of $99.90!

I am looking forward to our move! We are planning to move a few months after our 3^rd baby (3^rd boy) which is due in June. I my first pregnancy was an unplanned csection, then the 2^nd had complications, a blood clot which resulted in a csection at 36 weeks. The first time I saw anything like this was just a few days ago when I came across your site
