How long do you wear a tummy belt after delivery?
It is recommended to wear an abdominal belt immediately after delivery. If it is cesarean section, it can be worn directly after the operation, which can effectively protect the incision of cesarean section, promote uterine contraction and increase the elasticity of abdominal skin. Give birth naturally, and wear it after observing for 2 hours without obvious bleeding. According to different seasons and different abdominal circumference, we should choose the appropriate abdominal belt. For example, in hot summer, you should choose a thin and breathable abdominal belt, otherwise it will be easy to sweat and induce prickly heat. If abdominal distension and slow gastrointestinal peristalsis occur after caesarean section, the abdominal band will inhibit intestinal peristalsis, so you can relax the abdominal band appropriately or untie the abdominal band 1 hour before continuing to wear it.
Because of the different materials and auxiliary functions contained in the abdominal belt, the price of the abdominal belt will be particularly different. Generally, the cost of a cotton belly belt is about 80 to 100 without auxiliary functions. If a traditional Chinese medicine bag is added to the abdominal belt to promote uterine contraction, the price of a belt may be around 300 to 500. Generally, the cost of abdomen belt of chemical fiber is about 50 to 70, but some pregnant and baby stores may need about 100 because of different stores.
How long is postpartum abdomen effective?
Postpartum abdomen band can basically see the effect in a week. For postpartum mothers, many of them still look big after giving birth, and they still look like they are pregnant, which is related to the weak abdominal muscle strength and the separation of rectus abdominis during pregnancy. After the rectus abdominis is separated, you can carry out autonomous training and external support. Abdominal belt is a tool for external support.
Within 42 days after delivery, rectus abdominis can repair itself, and so can pelvic floor muscles. Therefore, when using the abdominal belt, we should pay attention to the correct use. The abdominal belt should start from the pelvic area and support the abdominal muscles and skin from bottom to top. Never press directly from the waist and sides, which may increase the pressure on the pelvic floor muscles, and improper use may lead to pelvic organ prolapse. In addition, within 42 days after delivery, abdominal curl and sit-ups are not recommended during repair, which may further aggravate the separation of rectus abdominis.
After giving birth to a baby, many precious mothers will worry that their stomachs will be slack and unable to recover, which is likely to cause other diseases, so they will consider using a tummy tuck to help them do tummy tuck surgery. Generally, the abdominal band can only be tied after half an hour after a meal, and it should be loosened after an hour or two. Be sure to untie it before going to bed at night. Long-term use will affect blood circulation. Within 42 days after delivery, abdominal tummy tuck has a good shaping effect. How long will it take? There is no specific time.
