How long can I lose weight with a tummy belt after delivery?
Regarding the use of abdominal belt after natural delivery, some people think that abdominal belt is not necessarily used after natural delivery, while others think that abdominal belt is helpful for postpartum recovery, but one thing is certain: the rational use of abdominal belt after natural delivery has a great influence on postpartum physical recovery. We need to know how long the abdominal band can be used after natural delivery.
How long can I use the abdominal belt after delivery? Use on the third day after natural delivery.
During pregnancy, the uterus is enlarged and the abdominal wall is relaxed, coupled with excessive exertion during normal delivery, which will lead to postpartum abdominal enlargement and abdominal muscle relaxation (postpartum abdominal weight loss method). Therefore, it is beneficial to use abdominal band within one week after natural delivery, and it is best to start using it on the third day after natural delivery. However, the abdominal belt can't be worn all day. When lying in bed or sitting and resting, untie it and fasten it when getting out of bed. Because long-term use of abdominal belt will affect blood circulation, limit the activities of lumbar muscles, abdomen and back, and extend the recovery time.
After 7 days of natural delivery, the abdominal belt can be used for a short time.
After 7 days of natural delivery, if the new mother needs to do more strenuous activities or return to work early, she can also use the abdominal belt for a short time. But after putting it on for an hour or two, it is necessary to untie it and let the waist and abdomen relax for a while.
It is most effective to use abdominal belt for half a year after delivery.
After the delivery of the fetus, it will take some time for the maternal organs to return to the prenatal state. Postpartum mother's skin is slack, her abdomen is enlarged, and her waist burden is aggravated. Under the action of gravity, her internal organs droop easily. Using abdomen band as early as possible can promote the waist-abdomen curve to extend to the lower abdomen, which can not only prevent visceral sagging, but also promote uterine contraction and pelvic return, and help the body function to recover slowly. Fat is flowing within six months after delivery, which is the best time to rebuild your body shape. Whether or not to make body shaping efforts after delivery has a great influence on the recovery of postpartum body shape. Body shaping is the most effective from the second day to the third day after delivery, lasting for half a year.
A few days after delivery, the parturient puts on the abdomen belt.
During pregnancy, the uterus will become bigger and the abdominal wall will relax. In addition, normal delivery will also lead to postpartum women's abdomen enlargement and abdominal muscle relaxation.
Therefore, the belt can be used within one week after natural delivery, but it can be used all day and can be taken off when lying in bed or resting. Because long-term use of the belt is not conducive to women's blood circulation, it will also lead to a longer postpartum recovery time.
Then for the belt, you can put it on for half an hour after dinner every day and untie it when you want to sleep. For pregnant women who recover well, some aerobic exercise can be carried out to help them recover.
