So you’ve just had your baby. Congratulations! You’ve now got a ‘jelly belly’. It’s natural for new mom’s tummies to feel flabby after delivery as it takes time for the uterus and stomach to shrink back to its normal size. After delivery, the abdomen is deflated where the baby used to be and it takes quite some time for the abdomen muscles to contract and the skin to regain its flexibility.
WEARING A POST PREGNANCY CORSET
If you want to speed up the healing process and at the same time, regain your pre-pregnancy shape; you can wear a post pregnancy/postpartum corset. The corset will help to hold the muscles in place giving support; promoting better posture; and will help you feel more confident whilst your body shape begins to normalise.
A post pregnancy corset is also ideal to wear when recovering from a C-section. It will aid in relieving the swelling of the abdominal area and limits the movements of skin tissue. The fear of laughing and coughing will also be alleviated as the corset holds stitches and incisions intact.
HOW LONG DO I NEED TO WEAR THE CORSET FOR?
You can wear the corset for as long as you wish after delivery, but give it at least 4 weeks to see solid results. Every person is different, some uteri literally bounce back and some skin types have higher levels of collagen making the skin more elastic and less prone to stretch marks.
It will take several months for your body to regain its pre-pregnancy shape, it took 9 months to nurture your newborn to full term, so give your body a break and don’t expect to be back to your normal size in only weeks. Take time to heal and recuperate.
IS THE CORSET COMFORTABLE TO WEAR?
There is quite an array of post pregnancy corsets from which to choose. Do you want a very firm fit with back support or comfort fit for all day wear? It is best to ask lots of questions from the sales person before committing.
Each person’s tolerance level is different and by informing yourself before making your purchase, you can make the right choice. Best results will be achieved by wearing the corset as much as you can.
Even sleeping in it will prove beneficial. The skin and muscles will be supported as you sleep. Wear it all day whilst doing your household chores.
Also following a healthy eating plan and exercising regime will speed up results. The corsets are worn under clothing and usually invisible to others. Lipo gels and stretch mark creams may also help to reduce the appearance of marked skin.
