Proper and reasonable use of postpartum abdominal belt can support abdomen, reduce abdominal tension, prevent visceral prolapse, promote uterine contraction and protect wound recovery.
Although girding is good for postpartum women's health, it will oppress the abdomen and affect the blood circulation of the abdomen. Therefore, the waist should be used intermittently to let the body breathe. It should only be used when you get up in the second month.

Be careful not to tie the abdominal belt too tightly. Some mothers may tighten their abdominal belts in order to stay beautiful, which is actually very unfavorable. It is very likely that the postpartum mother's intestines will be under greater pressure because of being too tightly bound, which will lead to slow intestinal peristalsis until constipation occurs. In addition, if the abdomen is too tight, it will also lead to an increase in abdominal pressure, and even lead to problems such as uterine prolapse and uterine retroflexion in severe cases. In severe cases, there will be gynecological diseases such as pelvic inflammatory disease and adnexitis.
The role of abdominal belt
In order to have a baby, mothers' abdominal muscles will be stretched, their abdominal skin will be stretched and their pelvis will be widened. Some new mothers don't control their abdomen during confinement, which is very unfavorable for the recovery of maternal abdomen. So, the so-called? Experts believe that the correct use of postpartum abdominal belt is of great benefit to maternal abdominal recovery.
It is worth noting that the mother who gave birth naturally can only use the postpartum abdomen belt after the month. Some mothers think that there is no wound in the abdomen after natural delivery, and they can use the abdominal belt immediately, but it is not. There are still a lot of body fluids such as blood stasis and gas in the postpartum abdomen, which need to be naturally eliminated through the circulation of the body. If the abdominal band is used too early after delivery, it will only limit the blood circulation in the body, which is not conducive to the discharge of lochia in the body, and is not conducive to the smooth breathing and the recovery of organs. In addition, premature use of the abdominal belt will also stress the pelvis, which may force the soft pelvis to expand outward, which is not conducive to the recovery of the pelvis.
Under normal circumstances, it is recommended that mothers who give birth naturally start to use pelvic correction belt after their postpartum body recovers better, and then use special postpartum abdomen belt 1 month to help shape.
Should I wear a corset after childbirth?
First of all, the blood vessels in the human abdomen are very rich. Long-term use of abdominal belt will affect the blood circulation of pelvic cavity and reduce the body's resistance. Moreover, women who have just given birth to babies are weak and can easily cause pelvic inflammatory disease.
Secondly, if the abdominal belt is used for a long time during the puerperium, long-term compression of veins will lead to varicose veins and constipation of lower limbs.
Third, the long-term use of abdominal belt after delivery will lead to lumbar muscle strain, uterine prolapse, uterine backward and other phenomena due to the increase of intra-abdominal pressure.
Due to the restraint of abdominal band, intestinal peristalsis will slow down, which will affect the gastrointestinal function of parturient. In the long run, it will affect the appetite of pregnant women, cause malnutrition, reduce milk, affect the baby's feeding, and it is very unfavorable for breastfeeding.
To sum up, the mother in the second month after delivery is not suitable for abdominal belt.
Postpartum weight loss, it is best to lose weight after 6~8 weeks. Under the guidance of professional nurses, you can do some simple calisthenics suitable for reproductive system recovery, and the amount of exercise must be moderate.
Finally, it is necessary to remind the mothers of the second month that if they want to have a slim figure, they must insist on breastfeeding, which is conducive to the recovery of the uterus and the recovery of the body.
It is human nature to love beauty, and many young mothers pay special attention to their body shape changes, thinking that tightening their abdomen after childbirth will help them recover their body shape. Therefore, the abdominal belt and fitness pants should be prepared in advance before delivery. When a child is born, he wraps himself so tightly from his hips to his abdomen that it is difficult to bend over. When you can move on the ground, you can put on fitness pants and stretch them tightly on your body, hoping that this will restore your body shape.
Under normal circumstances, the female pelvic reproductive organs are maintained in a normal position by various ligaments and pelvic floor supporting tissues. During pregnancy, with the growth and development of the fetus, various systems of the mother will undergo a series of adaptive changes, among which the reproductive system changes the most, especially the uterus, whose volume and weight increase to about 18 times and 20 times before pregnancy respectively; The fixed uterine ligament also softens and lengthens accordingly. The uterus begins to recover after delivery, and it can descend into the pelvis in about 10 days, but it takes 6 weeks to return to normal size. Due to excessive stretching during pregnancy, the ligaments that fix the uterus are slightly looser than before pregnancy. Due to excessive stretching, expansion and injury during delivery, the elasticity of vaginal and pelvic floor supporting tissues can not be completely restored to the prenatal state. Due to the influence of uterine dilatation during pregnancy, the postpartum abdominal wall relaxes and can gradually recover in about 6-8 weeks.
Judging from the above situation, normal abdominal wrapping in puerperium not only does not help to restore the tension of abdominal wall, but on the contrary, due to the increase of abdominal pressure, the support of supporting tissues and ligaments behind pelvic floor to reproductive organs decreases, resulting in uterine prolapse, severe uterine flexion and bulging of anterior and posterior vaginal walls. Due to the change of the normal position of reproductive organs, pelvic blood flow is not smooth, and the resistance is reduced, which is easy to cause pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis, pelvic blood stasis syndrome and other gynecological diseases, seriously affecting maternal health.
Because of pregnancy, the metabolic function of pregnant women is vigorous. In addition to supplying yourself and the fetus, you need to accumulate about 5 kilograms of fat distributed in the chest, abdomen and buttocks to provide energy for the third trimester, childbirth and lactation, and more for breastfeeding. This kind of fat will not disappear quickly because of the puerperium.
To get back in shape, first, postpartum exercise, leg lifts, sit-ups and so on. , can enhance abdominal muscle tension, the most important thing is breastfeeding. French scientists say that the fat accumulated in buttocks and thighs is almost specially prepared for breastfeeding, so postpartum breastfeeding can not only promote the recovery of uterus, but also help to restore body shape. Moreover, breastfeeding is of great benefit to the growth and development of newborns.
