Your favorite: Tummy Pocket Pillow

This Pocket Pillow is handmade with loads of love for your tummy care after surgery. The Tummy Pocket Pillow has a contrasting pocket and is made from a variety of beautiful color choices.

Are pillows important to surgery recovery?

We recommend that you the pillow over your incision as you cough or sneeze which provides support to your tender belly.

And, we suggest placing a small pillow between your tender incision area and the seatbelt on any car ride. This will make a safer and more comfortable car ride on the way home.  In fact, leave your pillow in the car to keep in handy!

Once you are at home, your tummy pillow can also be used to prevent pets and small children from bumping your incisions.

Tips for Swelly Belly

Swelly Belly is just a part of having a hysterectomy, or any abdominal surgery! Being prepared can help you in your recovery.

Make sure to wear loose fitting clothing. Now is not the time for jeans, but leggings and oversized tshirts. Wanting to look a little more modest for company or an outing – throw on a cardigan!

As you move further along in recovery and you are wanting to wear jeans, don’t get frustrated when you just can’t quite get them to button. The Waist Band Extender is the perfect solution for the in-between time. The swelling can sometimes last for a few weeks, but no need to buy new pants! Add the waist band extender to your pants and get up to an additional 6 inches for comfort.

Each woman is different in terms of swelly belly – how long, how swelly. Just be prepared, and be gentle on yourself as your body recovers.
