The hope is that it provides you with enough support so that you can experience less pain as you move around. With that said, when you wear a wrap, you may notice increased sweating in your abdomen. This, however, does not contribute to fat loss. Check out my post on the best ways to lose baby fat safely to learn more. You must be very careful when wearing a waist trainer, especially after a c-section as some can potentially interfere with your healing process.

You are in the right place! Today I am going to explain: how long you should wear a binder after a c section, how to use it successfully, and which postpartum wrap is best for you.
C-section deliveries require major abdominal surgery. As a result, the recovery from c-sections will be very different from a vaginal birth experience. One way to speed your healing and added comfort is to wear a postpartum girdle or corset. We want to share the experiences of real c-section mommies who loved wearing their Bellefit girdles as they transition back into their pre-baby clothes. We'll also cover some common questions about wearing a Bellefit girdle after a c-section, and discuss the unique features of c-section-friendly compression garments, so you can choose the best girdle that suits your needs.
You can wear your postpartum girdle hours after giving birth. In fact, many doctors and nurses recommend it for c-section recovery. For the best results, you should wear your girdle day and night in the first few weeks of healing.
You'll be able to adjust and tighten your girdle as your body changes in the months following childbirth. The first few days with your new baby is an extraordinary experience, and it's the best time to begin bonding. Your abdominal wall is a lot weaker now after having surgery, so wearing a girdle around your midsection will give you support to your lower back and core muscles, allowing you to move around more comfortably and hold your baby. As you recover in the hospital for the next couple of days, nurses will encourage you to move around and increase circulation in the legs.
The trouble is, the foundation of all movements begins at the abdominal muscles, and it's now at its weakest. A high-quality postpartum binder will help you feel secure and supported through your movements. Especially after the first 24 hours after c-section labor, you should support your wound with pressure.
A compression garment designed for post-pregnancy provides constant pressure to the incision to assist you with hands-free compression for when you laugh with your baby and loved ones, sneeze, or use the washroom. Those actions can unexpectedly cause the abdomen to strain, which can accidentally rip your incision. Breathwork is one of the best, natural pain-relieving strategies. Pain triggers the fight-or-flight response, which creates a surge of the stress hormone, cortisol.
Improving your oxygen supply to your muscles activates the parasympathetic system rest-and-digest mode to ease anxiety, tension, and manage your pain. Wearing a post-pregnancy girdle improves your back posture to open up space for your diaphragm to expand, allowing you to take full, deep breaths. Now, let's get to the stories of our incredible Bellefit moms who experienced c-section deliveries.
Kim began wearing her Dual-Closure Girdle on the third day postpartum. She also has the Bellefit Corset , which she wore a week after as she transitioned down in size. As a military wife, Kim needs every bit of energy she has to care for her new baby and her own needs, while her husband is away on duty.
She loved how secure she felt in her movements while wearing her corset. It gave me back support and the tightness I needed to tighten my belly! Enter the Bellefit. When I first saw the Bellefit, I laughed.
It looks like a mix between a torture device—that is one tight corset! I also thought it was going to be super tough to put on and uncomfortable to wear particularly because it snaps together in the, ahem , nether regions. I just followed the instructions on the back, and it was simple. I feel very secure and completely held together in it. This drives me especially crazy in the middle of the night.
Who knows. Oren Cheifetz et al. Christin M. Gillier et al. Samieh Ghana et al. I totally agree with you that this girdle had rightfully earned this first position on the list. I really found a great ease with its use. I am highly comfortable wearing it to work even with my off-the-shoulder tops. I wore a Belly Bandit after the birth of my son for the first 8 weeks. It really helped with that odd feeling of everything not being back in place yet, and also held everything together so that I could go out for walks pretty easily by three weeks post.
