When can I wear a regular bra?
I'm 7 weeks out and been wearing sports bras. Last night I went a wedding and had to wear a regular bra. By the end of the night I was in pain, not sore, pain. When will it not hurt anymore? When I "forget" it's there?

You might not think it from the replies you are getting, but trouble with bras is not an uncommon problem.
Happily, once the stitches were removed, I had no bra discomfort from the pacemaker, but I remember well how demoralizing it was not to be able to wear a good bra for a while after I broke my wrist. It's hard to feel good when you don't think you look good.
Look in the archives. Other women have dealt with this issue. I can't recall details or brand names, but I think they agreed that the key was finding a bra with very widely spaced straps.

It depends on individual, i had my icd implant on the 4th of this month. I have being wearing my fitted maternity bra since day 4 after the surgery.
I rang the cardio nurse up to find out if i can still use my wired bra, she said yes.
But i was abit uncomfortable with it, abit thight due to my baby weight gain.
You know you're wired when...

A pacemaker suddenly quitting is no more likely to happen than you are to be struck by lightening.

We are all built differently and heal at different rates. Mine is subpectoral so it was a good 3 months before I could bend/twist/lift without feeling it at all, have a busy day in a regular bra and not be sore. Ice it.
Maybe get fitted for a bra? Professional fitters are great.
