How to hold the abdomen during a normal birth

Many mothers think that they must use a restraint belt after giving birth. Is it necessary to use a restraint belt if you choose a natural birth? In fact, the main function of the bandage is to fix the incision, so the necessity of using it for mothers who have cesarean section and mothers who choose natural birth is different. Mothers in need should master the appropriate time and method of using the restraints so that the restraints can fully play their true functions and have the best quality of life. So how do you reduce your abdomen if you choose natural childbirth?

Benefits of using a cincher after a normal birth:

Pregnant women who choose natural delivery can use a restraint belt after giving birth. Its main purpose is to repair the uterus. The restraint belt can promote the contraction of the uterus and help the body function gradually recover. In addition, the use of a restraint belt after giving birth can reduce the pressure on the abdomen, prevent internal organs from sagging, reduce postpartum hemorrhage, and facilitate the discharge of postpartum lochia, which has a positive effect on postpartum recovery.

Disadvantages of using a restraint belt after a normal birth:

1. During pregnancy, women's abdominal pressure is constantly increasing. This kind of pressure will compress the pelvis and cause certain damage to the function and structure of the pelvis. If this damage cannot be repaired after giving birth, women are prone to urinary incontinence, uterine prolapse, protrusion of the front and back walls of the vagina, and other abnormalities. It can be said that the key to the body's recovery after childbirth lies in the recovery of the pelvic function, and the restraint belt not only cannot help shrink the abdomen, but will further increase abdominal pressure and affect the recovery of the pelvic function. Because of the tension, it is also detrimental to the blood circulation and skin metabolism of the waist and abdomen, and may cause dermatitis.

2. Long-term use of restraints will cause poor blood circulation, which in turn will cause varicose veins in the lower limbs, hemorrhoids, lumbar muscle strain, etc.

3. Wearing too tight a belt after giving birth will increase abdominal pressure, reduce the bearing capacity of the reproductive organs, and cause uterine prolapse, retroversion and retroflexion of the uterus (uterus repair after giving birth), protrusion of the anterior or posterior wall of the vagina, etc., and easily cause gynecological diseases such as pelvic venous congestion, pelvic inflammatory disease, and adnexitis.
