How long after giving birth is it best to wear a belly band?

Many pregnant women accumulate a lot of fat due to various tonics during pregnancy. After giving birth, their bodies are still as loose as they were during pregnancy, especially their bellies, which are still prominent. Therefore, many new mothers who pursue beauty will choose bandages in order to quickly repair their uterus and reduce their bellies. So when is the best time to use a belly belt after childbirth?

When is the best time to use a postpartum belly belt?

During pregnancy, women's uterus will expand and the abdomen will become more relaxed. In addition, when choosing a natural birth, it takes a lot of effort. These will cause the belly to expand after delivery and the abdominal muscles to become loose, and the whole person will look the same as before the birth.

Therefore, many pregnant women choose to use restraints after giving birth, especially within a week after giving birth, preferably starting from the third day after normal delivery. However, the restraint belt should not be worn all day long. It should be removed when you are in bed or sitting down to rest, and then tied again when you get out of bed and move around. Long-term use of a restraint belt will affect the blood circulation system, restrict the movement of the lumbar disc, abdomen and back, and increase the recovery time.

7 days after giving birth, if the new mother needs to engage in more strenuous activities or recover early, she can also use a restraint belt for a short period of time. However, after wearing it for an hour or two, you should take it off to let the waist and abdomen relieve pressure for a while.

Common problems with using restraints

Generally speaking, the band should be put on thirty minutes after a meal and after urinating; then the band should be taken off before going to bed to relieve the abdominal pain. In addition, different pregnant women have different choices of delivery methods, and there are different things they need to pay attention to when using a restraint belt.

1. For pregnant women who give birth naturally

Pregnant women who choose natural childbirth are not suitable for long-term use of restraints. If you want to shape your abdomen quickly and healthily after giving birth, you can strengthen your physical fitness while using the belt, and often do exercises such as kneeling, push-ups, and some maternity exercises to promote the actual effect of the belt.

2. For pregnant women who have cesarean section

Pregnant women who have undergone cesarean section can use a restraint belt only after the stitches in their abdomen are removed, but it should not be used for a long time to avoid affecting the healing of the wound.

3. For those who are too thin or whose internal organs are loose, the restraint belt should be removed immediately after the internal organs are lifted and repositioned.
