Which method is better for pregnant women to lose weight after childbirth?

Is it better to wear corset clothes after childbirth or do you have a good abdomen?

Corset clothes and abdomen belts are products that can be used after childbirth. Under normal circumstances, you can use abdomen belts first after childbirth, and then switch to corset clothes two or three months after childbirth, so that you can restore your body shape to the greatest extent.

It is not advisable to wear corsets too early after childbirth. Corsets are too tight, which will put certain pressure on the abdomen and affect the recovery of the body. Therefore, mothers should use abdominal straps first after giving birth, tie them on the third day for natural labor, and tie them on the first day after giving birth. After a while, you are allowed to wear corsets and then change into corsets. If you have a natural birth, you can wear a corset after 1 month, and if you have a Caesarean section, you have to wait 6 months. Excluding other factors, from the perspective of slimming, corsets are definitely better than abdominal straps.

Postpartum body shaping can be done by wearing corsets or abdominal straps. They both reduce mothers 'swollen bellies by giving abdominal pressure during pregnancy. They can strengthen the recovery of postpartum abdominal muscles, contract the uterus, and help caesarean section women relieve pain, stop bleeding and fix the wound. There is no definite answer to which type of slimming effect is better, because everyone accepts things differently, and it is best to choose according to their own needs.

The best timetable for postpartum abdominal pain

1. Time to start using abdominal straps in different delivery methods

It is not advisable to tie the abdomen belt immediately after childbirth, and the use time of the abdomen belt varies according to different circumstances. If the abdomen belt is used too early after childbirth, it will be detrimental to the discharge of lochia and cause wound infection. Generally speaking, it takes three days before the abdominal band can be used for natural birth, and ten days for caesarean section.

2. Remove the abdominal band half an hour before meals and put it on half an hour after meals

Abdominal straps can effectively prevent weight gain, and the best time to tie abdominal straps within the day is generally to remove them half an hour to one hour before meals and put them on half an hour to one hour after meals.

Wearing it half an hour after meals can tighten the waist and abdomen well and avoid accumulation of abdominal fat.

3. Remove the abdominal strap before going to the toilet and then put it on

Of course, for the convenience of life, you usually remove the abdominal strap before going to the toilet and put it on after emptying your urine and urine.

4. Don't wear a belly belt when you go to bed at night

Moreover, it is easy to cause necrosis caused by ischemia, and it is easy to cause compression of abdominal organs.
