How long after giving birth can I use a belly band?

Postpartum women will be concerned about the time period after which they can bind their abdomen. This is an issue related to women's health and must be treated correctly. Because a woman's body needs to be nurtured and replenished with adequate nutrition after giving birth, and her body is also very weak, she should not rush to bind her abdomen. However, it is not impossible to wear a belly bind after childbirth. This requires a healthy approach and the timing also needs to be mastered. Next, I will introduce to you the time you can resume wearing a belly bind after childbirth.

How long after a normal birth can I use a belly belt?

It is best to start using it on the third day after a normal birth. But the belly belt should not be worn all day long. It should be untied when lying in bed or sitting to rest, and tied again when getting out of bed and moving around. Because long-term use of an abdominal belt will affect blood circulation, restrict the movement of the waist muscles, abdomen and back, and prolong recovery time.

The correct way to use the belly belt:

The belly band should be worn half an hour after meals and after urination, and removed before going to bed. At the same time, the use of belly bands should vary from person to person. After a normal delivery, you should strengthen your exercise, do leg lifts, sit-ups and some postpartum exercises regularly, and avoid relying on a belly belt for a long time.

Disadvantages of long-term use of belly band:

Belly belts should not be used for a long time. If used for a long time, it will lead to poor blood circulation, causing varicose veins in the lower limbs, hemorrhoids, lumbar muscle strain, etc. If the waist belt is too tight, it will also cause increased abdominal pressure, which will reduce the supporting force of the reproductive organ ligaments, leading to uterine prolapse, retroversion and retroflexion of the uterus (postpartum uterine recovery), bulging of the anterior or posterior wall of the vagina, etc., and easily induce gynecological diseases such as pelvic venous congestion, pelvic inflammatory disease, and adnexitis.

Notes on using a belly belt:

7 days after a normal birth, if the new mother needs to engage in more strenuous activities or return to work early, she can also use a belly belt for a short time. However, after wearing it for an hour or two, you should take it off to let your waist and abdomen relax for a while.

When buying a belly band, be sure to choose one that is made of soft, breathable material. Wear it half an hour after meals and after urinating, and take it off before going to bed. If the new mother needs to engage in strenuous activities or return to work early one week after a normal birth, she can also use a belly belt for a short period of time, but it should be untied after wearing it for one or two hours to relax the abdomen.

First of all, women who have given birth naturally need to rest, and they can pay more attention to these body-shaping knowledge during their leisure time. After your body has recovered successfully, you can choose a belly band according to the above method, and then use it after delivery to become a beautiful mother. You should maintain a good attitude and pay attention to a nutritious and healthy diet, so that you can have a healthy body and a beautiful figure.
