Precautions for wearing a belly band during confinement

After giving birth, women are most worried about losing their body shape, so generally women will use the method of tying a belly band to restore their body shape after giving birth. In fact, tying a belly band can not only restore the body shape, but also help the internal organs return to their original positions and avoid the phenomenon of postpartum uterine prolapse. Regardless of whether the birth is a natural birth or a caesarean section, a belly band is required. What are the precautions for tying a belly band during the confinement period?

Some belly bands are made of chemical fibers and have a stimulating effect. Not only is this type of belly band uncomfortable to use, it is often accompanied by an unpleasant odor and can irritate the skin and respiratory tract. Therefore, you must pay attention to the material of the belly band when purchasing. In addition, if the belly band is tied too tightly after delivery, it will not only be uncomfortable but also affect blood circulation and compress the gastrointestinal tract and internal organs.

How long should I wear a belly band after a cesarean section?

The period from after the cesarean section to six months after delivery is a period of fat flow. Proper use of a belly belt can greatly help restore your body shape after delivery. In addition, mothers who have undergone cesarean section should also know the time to use the belly belt, which is generally half an hour after meals, put it on after urinating, and take it off before going to bed. It should be noted that it is not suitable for long-term use after caesarean section, otherwise it is likely to cause poor blood circulation, and even cause postpartum diseases such as lumbar muscle strain, hemorrhoids, varicose veins of the lower limbs, etc.

It can be seen from this that tying a belly band is not an easy thing. For women, it is not an easy thing to regain their figure after giving birth. Due to differences in personal physique, it may be even more difficult for some mothers. At the same time, mothers have to take on the responsibility of taking care of their children, which is even more stressful. Therefore, at this time, it is very necessary for family members to share some tasks and need the care and understanding of their family members.
