Let's have a look. Why do we use a tummy band after delivery?
Female pregnant in October. As the fetus grows bigger, the volume and weight of the uterus also increase to 8 ~ 10 times before pregnancy. After the child is born, the uterus suddenly relaxes and then begins to recover through contraction. It descends to the pelvis in about 10, and it takes about 6 weeks to return to its normal size.
However, the ligament that fixes the uterus is too stretched during pregnancy, which makes the elasticity decrease and can not fully return to the pre-pregnancy state; The abdominal wall will also become slack after delivery, and it will take 6-8 weeks to gradually recover; Viscera will droop easily because of loss of support, and the urinary system will take time to recover.
Therefore, using the abdominal belt after delivery can help to fix the pelvis, help to relieve internal organs and uterine prolapse, help to close the abdomen and lift the buttocks as soon as possible, and bid farewell to the flabby belly and big ass.
So, how long can I use the abdominal belt after delivery?
The use of abdominal band must be based on different situations and different people.
1, a new mother who gave birth naturally:
On the third day after delivery, you can use the abdominal belt. But don't feel good about your abdomen, just wear it all day long. Long-term use will affect blood circulation and the recovery of local gastrointestinal function. It is best to tie it when mom gets out of bed and untie it when she is sitting in bed and resting. After seven days of delivery, the time of using the abdominal band can be appropriately extended, but it should be untied after 1 ~ 2 hours to relax the waist and abdomen.
2. New mothers in other situations
If the body is too thin, the internal organs have drooping symptoms, and the pregnancy is complicated with heart disease and blood disease, it is necessary to tie the abdominal belt under the guidance of a doctor after delivery to achieve the effect of lifting the internal organs and helping to reset.
Precautions for using abdominal belt:
Within 6 months after delivery, the fat in the mother's body is flowing, which is the best time to reshape her body. Therefore, shaping with abdomen band can last for half a year after delivery, and the effect is the best. Because postpartum mother is weak and prone to sweating, two or three abdominal belts should be prepared for replacement.
Time to fasten the abdominal belt: after getting up in the morning and going to the toilet, fasten the abdominal belt and untie it for a while every hour or two to relax. You can tie it when you eat and untie it when you sleep.
In order to change back to the slender posture before pregnancy and shape the body better, some mothers tie the abdominal belt tightly, which will have adverse effects on the body.
Abdominal belt tightening will increase abdominal pressure, and reproductive organs will be supported by pelvic floor supporting tissues and ligaments, which will cause uterine prolapse, uterine retroflexion, anterior or posterior vaginal bulge and other symptoms. Moreover, if the intestinal pressure is too high, intestinal peristalsis will slow down, leading to loss of appetite and constipation.
