When is the best time to use a postpartum recovery belt?

During pregnancy, a woman's uterus will enlarge and her abdomen will become more relaxed. In addition, she will have to exert force when giving birth naturally. These will cause her belly to enlarge and her abdominal muscles to become loose after delivery, and the whole person will look the same as before giving birth.

Therefore, many pregnant women choose to use restraints after giving birth, especially within a week after giving birth, preferably starting from the third day after normal delivery. However, the restraint belt should not be worn all day long. It should be removed when resting in bed or squatting, and then tied again when getting out of bed and moving around. Long-term use of restraints will affect blood circulation, restrict the movement of waist muscles, abdomen and back, and increase recovery time.

7 days after giving birth, if the new mother needs to engage in more strenuous activities or recover early, she can also use a restraint belt for a short period of time. However, after wearing it for an hour or two, you should take it off to let the waist and abdomen relieve pressure for a while.

When does postpartum recovery begin?

Generally, you can do exercise after a dozen days, but the intensity of exercise should not be too high at the beginning. There is no fixed way to jog. As long as the movements of various parts of the body are harmonious and smooth, and do not cause nervous movements, it is basically an effective jogging posture. First of all, you must have a good posture (Posture); and the prerequisite for a good posture is to have adequate muscle strength. Some exercises that can strengthen muscle strength, such as push-ups, push-ups, squats, pull-ups, etc., are beneficial to maintaining a good posture and obtaining a reasonable jogging posture.

The standard running posture is to keep the head and torso upright, the body is very relaxed, the head is stretched out, the eyes are facing forward, the arms are relaxed, and the fingers are slightly toward the center line of the body. When you step forward, your foot is just smaller than the body's center of gravity. Everyone who has just started running has made the mistake of striding incorrectly. In other words, when the foot steps forward, the position of the foot when it lands is in front of the center of gravity of the human body. No matter how old you are, everyone has a stride that works for them. The way is to use basic training and try to correct it. Other common mistakes include: toes rotating inward or outward when stepping on the ground; the body bouncing back too much; and arms shaking too much or shaking up and down. Jogging should be as steady as possible, and of course all excessively stressful movements should be avoided as much as possible.
