Do you have young mothers among your relatives? You may notice that some of them wear a postpartum belt . In this case, it is difficult not to wonder what this accessory recommended by doctors, midwives, Bernadette de Gasquet and other practitioners is for. We will provide you with all the answers you need.
It is an elastic fabric sheath dedicated to maintaining a mother's belly after childbirth. It allows her to have a flat stomach by regularly tightening her waist, hips and lumbar area . It also gives her the opportunity to ensure the recovery of her muscles used during pregnancy and childbirth. The device can also be called by several other names, including:
Postpartum belt
Maternity belt
Post pregnancy corset
Abdominal belt
belly bandit
Pregnancy girdle
Shaping belt
The postpartum belt comes in a wide variety of sizes, shapes and colors . Before finding the ones that really match your needs and requirements.
As you may have imagined, the target audience of the maternity girdle for women is young mothers who are looking for a high level of lumbar support after giving birth. The device will be suitable whether you gave birth vaginally or by cesarean section . It will help maintain a good position of the stomach and abdominals in the face of the upheaval that can result from pregnancy and childbirth.
Like many new mothers in Paris and throughout France, you are probably considering wearing your belt as soon as you give birth. There is nothing wrong with that, but to avoid putting pressure on your body after this ordeal, doctors recommend that you start wearing the device between the 6th and 8th weeks after giving birth . This period coincides with the recommended period for resuming sports activities.
Within two months of their baby's birth, many new mothers feel heaviness and weight in their belly. This discomfort could be felt for several weeks in a row and cause pulling in the back. Fortunately, it is possible to soothe the resulting pain with excellent lumbar support .
The physical changes of a mother-to-be begin as soon as the baby arrives in her belly. And they continue throughout the pregnancy and even after delivery. Fortunately, you can regain your pre-pregnancy body shape by using a postnatal girdle . In particular, this will protect you from the appearance of an "abdominal apron" between your pubis and your navel.
Maternity girdles for women do more than just flatten your belly. When you use them as underwear, your belly and lower back will be warmed and you will soothe your pelvic floor pain . Your pelvis, abdominal muscles and hips will be well supported and the tension in your lower abdomen will be relieved. These devices also greatly contribute to putting your organs back in place and reducing the risk of muscle tears.
The postpartum girdle will therefore be a great help to you in your post-pregnancy recovery. It will not be able to replace perineal rehabilitation sessions and the abdominal strap, but will be an excellent complement to them.
To obtain the expected results, the use of a postpartum belt must be preceded by a favorable opinion from the doctor or midwife who is in charge of your postpartum follow-up. In the event of a favorable opinion, the midwife will indicate to you in particular that the device should not be too tight and that it should be placed at pelvic level. If you put it at waist level, you risk pushing the organs downwards.
Also make sure that the size and tightening method correspond to your needs and situation . If, for example, you are looking for a post-C-section belt, avoid a model that can pull on the scar. Finally, for a much better effect, you can combine the use of the device with physiotherapy massages.
