How long should pregnant women use a belly belt after giving birth?

Giving birth is a happy yet painful thing for pregnant women. Some pregnant women cannot give birth naturally, so they choose caesarean section. After giving birth, the uterus of pregnant women will become larger and the abdominal muscles will become loose. At this time, doctors will recommend pregnant women to use belly belts. Belly belts can help mothers heal their wounds and are very beneficial for postpartum recovery. The time for using a belly belt is different for normal delivery and caesarean section, so how long is appropriate for pregnant women to use a belly belt after delivery?

1. How long should I use the belly band after a caesarean section? At least 42 days

Women who have undergone cesarean section will spend most of the first week after delivery lying in bed resting, but doctors will also encourage them to get up and move around, and to urinate and defecate. As long as women who have undergone cesarean section get out of bed, they should use a belly belt to prevent the wound from being pulled by walking. They should not wear the belly belt when lying down to rest. The best time for a woman's body to recover is within 42 days after delivery, so it is best to insist on using a belly belt during this period. After 42 days, it depends on personal circumstances. Continuing to use it can promote abdominal recovery, but persistence is everything, and it should generally not exceed half a year.

2. How long should I use the belly belt after a normal birth? Half a year

Women who give birth naturally recover faster after childbirth, and doctors generally do not recommend that women who give birth naturally use belly belts, but the proportion of women who give birth naturally using belly belts remains high today. After all, the necessity for mothers who give birth naturally to use a belly belt is different from that for those who give birth by caesarean section. There is no special recommendation on when to start using it, but using a belly belt as early as possible can lift and contract the waist and abdominal curves of women, prevent sagging of internal organs, promote uterine contraction and pelvic recovery. The fat of new mothers is mobile within 6 months after delivery, which is the best time to reshape the body. Whether or not to make efforts to shape the body after delivery has a huge impact on the recovery of the body shape after delivery. It is most effective to reshape your body starting from the 2nd to 3rd day after delivery and continuing for half a year.

The above is the relevant content about belly belts for pregnant women after childbirth. The usage time for caesarean section and natural birth is different, and it will take relatively longer for natural birth. Moreover, a pregnant woman's body shape will also change after giving birth. At this time, the postpartum belly belt also plays a great role in the recovery of pregnant women's figure. It can help pregnant women reshape their body and help the recovery of uterine contraction. I hope this can help everyone.
