The correct use of postpartum abdominal belt is 1. Lie on your back on the bed, lie flat, keep your knees upright, put your feet on the bed, and keep your thighs at right angles to your abdomen. It's best to put two cushions under your hips.
2, hands on the abdomen, position down, the back of your hand against the abdomen, palms outward, massage the abdomen clockwise to relax the abdomen.
3. Bundle in two stages, from pubic bone to navel. When binding, remember to repeat the winding in the first few turns and move up in the last few turns to form a spiral binding. If you buy a ready-made abdomen belt directly, put it on your abdomen and tighten your belt.
4. Pay attention to 12 laps each time, and use 3 straps for the larger abdomen. In addition, be careful not to tie it too tightly, otherwise it will make you unable to breathe.
5. If the figure is thin, the hip bone is prominent, and the abdominal belt can't stick to the stomach, you need to put a towel on it, and then use the abdominal belt.
6. When disassembling, remember to recycle the belt while disassembling to avoid winding the belt. If it is a ready-made abdomen belt, just loosen the belt and take it off.
1, first put a gastric band on the innermost part. Specific steps: first fix the wearing position, then fix one side, then pull the other side to prepare for fixing, and finally adjust the position to fix.
2. Tie the tummy belt outside the tummy belt. The specific steps are as follows: two reinforcing belts are added on the basis of the abdomen belt.
3. Finally, tie the hip and abdomen belt, and the specific steps are the same as those of the waist and abdomen belt.
4. Check it again after all, see if there is any discomfort, and then make some local adjustments to make us feel as comfortable as possible.
Suggestion: Abdominal girdling is mainly to supplement muscle weakness and abdominal relaxation. When using the abdominal belt, be sure not to be too tight or too high. Both will affect breathing, so you can't stick to it for a long time.
Postpartum tummy bands are squeezed for several hours a day. The main function of abdomen band is to avoid the wound when mother is active. Therefore, it is best to use the abdomen belt when the parturient is awake by caesarean section, but if there is no special activity demand, it is not impossible to be good at it. As for whether mommy should use it when eating and sleeping, experts suggest the following:
1, bedtime
Wang Liling said that people generally don't move when they sleep, so mommy can take off her bra before going to bed. Of course, it's ok if mom wants to use it, but it will definitely affect the quality of sleep. Mommy can decide according to her own situation.
2. Meal time
When eating with a girdle, most mothers will feel uncomfortable. When they have flatulence and poor gastrointestinal peristalsis, if they wear a girdle again, flatulence may be aggravated. But as far as caesarean section is concerned, as long as you are awake, you may accidentally involve the wound, so if you can, you should continue to use it when eating.
3. How long should it take a day? In fact, it is difficult to have a standard answer, but also consider my personal habits and physical condition. For example, when the weather is cold, my mother prefers to use the waist seal all the time, but in summer, it may be uncomfortable to wear it a little, and the willingness to use it on weekdays will be greatly reduced.
How to use postpartum abdominal belt reasonably
1, pure cotton, inelastic, segmented abdominal belt. Pure cotton is breathable, inelastic, and the segmented abdominal belt fits the body shape, and the pressure is stable and balanced.
2. Choose the right time to start using the abdominal belt. If it is a natural delivery, you can use the abdominal belt two or three days after delivery. If it is a cesarean section, it depends on whether the wound is a vertical incision or a horizontal incision. The parturient with vertical incision suggests using abdomen band immediately after delivery, which can prevent the fat on the stomach from slipping to both sides and pulling the wound, which not only helps the wound to heal, but also can relieve the pain. It is best for women with transverse incision to wait until the end of confinement before using the abdominal belt, at least two weeks after delivery and after the wound has basically healed to prevent the wound from tearing.
3. The binding position of the abdominal belt should be appropriate. Abdominal bands, such as gauze, which need to be wound by themselves, are best wound from the lower part of the breast to the pubic bone in a spiral overlapping manner; It is best to tie the belt near the pelvis, not just around the waist.
4, the abdominal belt should be elastic and moderate. Not so tight as to affect blood circulation, let alone breathing and eating.
Let's stop here about the use and choice of abdominal belt. Needless to say, the benefits of abdomen belt can play a great role in postpartum recovery. However, improper use may also bring some harm, which tells us that nothing is perfect and even the best things should be measured. I hope everyone can spend the confinement period healthily.
