How long can a pregnant woman use a belly belt?

For pregnant women, their bodies will undergo many changes. After pregnancy, the changes are very big. Some people will change from thin to fat. The body shape is particularly distorted, and the changes in the abdomen are the most obvious. After giving birth, the mother's belly will become loose, so everyone will choose to use a belly belt, but how long can a mother use a belly belt? Please see the introduction below!

1. During pregnancy, the uterus becomes larger and the abdominal wall becomes loose, and if you exert too much force during natural childbirth, it will cause the belly to become larger and the abdominal muscles to become loose after delivery.

Therefore, it is beneficial to use a belly belt within one week after a normal delivery, and it is best to start using it on the third day after the normal delivery. 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.

2. 7 days after normal delivery, 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.

3. 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.

4. Disadvantages of long-term use of belly band

Long-term use of an abdominal belt can lead to poor blood circulation, causing varicose veins in the lower limbs, hemorrhoids, lumbar muscle strain, etc. In addition, if the corset is too tight after childbirth, it will increase abdominal pressure and reduce the supporting force of the reproductive organ ligaments, thereby causing uterine prolapse, retroversion and retroflexion of the uterus, 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.

The time, method and length of use of a belly belt are all very important. How long can a mother use a belly belt? I believe that after reading the above introduction, you already know it! Only by using the belly belt correctly can mothers maintain their figure. Long-term use of the belly belt will cause great harm to the organs in our body, so it is necessary to use the belly belt correctly.
