Is it necessary to wear a tummy belt after delivery?
Postpartum use of binding tape can be based on the following time:
The first postpartum week 1: help the uterus and body function recover.
In order to meet the arduous task of "childbirth", pregnant beauty-loving joints and pelvis will become slack. In addition, internal organs will be squeezed during pregnancy, muscles and ligaments will inevitably be strained during delivery, or the wounds will be compressed after cesarean section. When choosing slimming products in the early postpartum period, you should avoid being too tight. It is recommended to choose a corset product that is soft and comfortable and can be worn for 24 hours, with tight pants with moderate elasticity and easy to put on and take off, to give moderate pressure to the uterus and help the body function recover slowly. At the same time, with moderate postpartum exercise, pelvis and vagina will return to normal.
The second stage is the second week after delivery: abdominal contraction and abdominal wall recovery.
After a period of adjustment and rest, most of the physical functions and physical strength of mothers have returned to normal, but the recovery speed of postpartum abdominal wall is not as fast as uterine contraction, which is easy to form a cavity in the abdomen, resulting in fat accumulation. If you only want to rely on the original strength to restore your body, you have to spend more energy.
The third stage: the third week after delivery-the sixth month after delivery: strengthen the shaping of perfect curve.
At this time, the internal organs that were originally squeezed upward by the uterus will slowly return to their original positions, and postpartum lochia will also be reduced. Mom can start to strengthen the sculpture of curves according to the requirements of body shape! It is suggested that you can change into a more functional corset product during the day, and achieve the strengthening effect of lower body compression, waist tightening, hip lifting and thigh tightening through professional body shaping tailoring, and at the same time accelerate the metabolism of fat cells to achieve the effect of slimming sculpture. In addition, during pregnancy, due to calcium loss and poor postpartum adjustment, it is easy to cause hunchback, breast relaxation and slight protrusion of the lower abdomen, making it difficult to eliminate fat from the lower body to the waist.
How to use the corset?
Step 1: Use 40-60 minutes after meals. Mommy lies flat on the bed, opens the abdominal belt and puts it under her, then pulls it up from both ends.
Step 2: Fix the devil's carpet at the bonding place, and finally confirm the tightness. Generally speaking, after binding, the tightness that almost one palm can be put in is just right, and mommy can adjust it based on this.
Note: the purpose of using abdominal band is to hope that the wound of caesarean section can heal smoothly, so it must cover the whole wound completely when using it, covering almost from below navel to above pubic symphysis. Wear 1-2 hours each time, loosen and relax. Wear 12 hour a day at most, and it will be fine in one month. In addition, you must take it off when you sleep and eat. Don't tie the abdominal belt too tightly, otherwise it will affect the breathing and blood circulation of the parturient. The same is true for using a highly elastic abdominal belt. Don't buckle it too tightly. After delivery, the uterine membrane falls off and the mixed blood is discharged from the vagina. If the winding is too tight, it will affect the blood circulation, and it will be difficult to discharge lochia, and the maternal recovery will be slow. Too tight, it may also cause waist muscle atrophy, which is not conducive to physical recovery.
