Post-partum weight loss is it better to have gauze or corset on your stomach

After giving birth to a child, more than 90% of new mothers will undergo great changes in their body shape and prenatal delivery within 3 months. Especially abdominal obesity is the biggest worry for all postpartum moms.

To this end, how to quickly lose weight has become the top priority for postpartum weight loss. Just, what methods can I lose my belly? According to surveys, postpartum bellies, corsets and gauze have become the most trusted weight loss tools for moms.

After giving birth to a thin belly, some people choose corsets, others choose gauze, and there are many choices. In this way, we will all have a question, should we bring a corset or gauze? I think many people have this question. So, let's take this question with the Women's Health Network editor to find out whether it is better to wear corsets or gauze?

After giving birth to a thin belly, is it better to bring a corset or gauze?

Is it better to bring corsets or gauze? This is a problem encountered by many novice mothers. Many mothers also chose gauze when they saw the famous Taiwanese host Xiao S endorsing gauze corset belts. So today we will compare and see the experience of beautiful mothers after using them. Make a reference for new mothers. The following are the experience shared by several beautiful moms:

1. Wrap gauze is better, but it is very troublesome! Entanglement and tearing apart is really time-consuming and energy-consuming. When your baby is born, you won't have much time and energy to do it unless someone helps! Moreover, the gauze is easy to loosen, and it should be wrapped at least twice a day. If it is loosened, it will naturally have no effect.

Generally, it takes about ten minutes to wrap it, and it takes about ten minutes to tear it apart, because it needs to be folded properly! Although it is convenient to use corsets, it is not very comfortable over time, and the effect may not be as good as gauze. I just couldn't persevere. I wrapped myself in gauze and persisted for less than a week, and then I gave up. The corset was removed because it was uncomfortable.

So... alas, the effect is not great. It is now more than three months after childbirth and almost four months. After the meal, my stomach was still firm as I was four months pregnant! So I started learning to practice yoga. I don't know if I can persist yet. But for the sake of my future figure, I will fight hard.

2. Although I have not used gauze, I feel that gauze is better. On the one hand, it is breathable, and on the other hand, it is not too tight on the corset, causing deformation of the uterus. Natural recovery is still good. I used a corset when I was born, but it made my stomach itchy because it was too tight. Later, I simply stopped wearing it. After 6 months, my body naturally returned to its original slender waist, so I don't have to think that I don't have to deliberately reduce it. You can recover, because taking care of children is a hard job! ...

Role of corset

Although there are many choices of girdle, strictly speaking, its main function is only one, that is, to fix the wound, and it is recommended to use it for mommies who have undergone caesarean section.

1. Fix the wound and have less limited activities. After cesarean section delivery, there will be a wound on the abdomen. Before the wound has healed, it will inevitably be some pain. If the wound is accidentally involved during the movement, the pain will be intensified, making mommy even less afraid to get out of bed to exercise. Use a corset strap to fix the wound to prevent the rectus abdominis from expanding outwards during exercise, causing pain or involvement in the wound, which is conducive to wound healing.

If mommy has no other discomfort after surgery, it will be beneficial for the body to recover from bed early. Therefore, doctors will recommend that mommy use corset bands after cesarean section surgery. Mothers will be relatively unlikely to reject getting out of bed when the pain is not so intense.

2. Avoid inflammation of the lungs. Mommy has to receive anesthetic acid during surgery. Sometimes tracheal secretions will increase after surgery. If mommy fails to cough up phlegm in time, it may cause fever and inflammation of the lungs, delaying the recovery of body functions. However, because mommy can easily get involved in the wound and feel pain when she expectorates, doctors will advise mommy to tie a corset belt first after the surgery to relieve the pain and smoothly clear the phlegm to shorten the recovery time.

3. Restraint straps can help new mothers recover their bodies and contract the abdominal muscles. This is the main purpose why many expectant mothers use restraining straps.

When to use the corset

The corset is mainly used to supplement insufficient muscle strength and abdominal relaxation. Corset belts can also help new mothers recover their body after childbirth. So, when will the corset belts be used? Let's go and have a look together!

1. Mothers who give birth naturally can only use the abdomen belt after confinement. Some mothers think that there are no wounds on the abdomen after natural childbirth, so they can use the abdomen belt immediately. In fact, this is not the case. After childbirth, there is still a lot of congestion, gas and other body fluids in my mother's abdomen, which need to be naturally eliminated from the body through the body's circulation. If the restraining band is used too early, it will only restrict the blood circulation in the body, which is not conducive to the discharge of lochia in the body, and is not conducive to breathing. Smooth flow is not good for the recovery of organs.

In addition, premature use of the abdomen belt will also put the force above the pelvis, which may force the still soft pelvis to expand, which is not conducive to the recovery of the pelvis. Therefore, it is recommended that mothers who give birth naturally should start using pelvic orthotic belts after their bodies recover well after childbirth, and then use special abdominal belts for natural childbirth one month after childbirth to help shape body.

2. Immediately after cesarean section, use a special abdominal belt for cesarean section to fix the wound. After cesarean section, abdominal viscera are affected by invasive surgery. A special abdominal belt for cesarean section needs to be used immediately after surgery to fix the wound, promote wound healing, and prevent sagging of the viscera

At this time, the nursing effect of the abdomen belt is greater than the body shaping effect, so when purchasing a cesarean section abdomen belt, mothers should not blindly tighten the size. Instead, they should choose a special abdomen belt that has good breathability, is comfortable to wear, and can freely adjust the tightness according to the position and recovery of the cesarean section wound. At the same time, pelvic orthotic straps can also be used simultaneously to help the pelvis return to prenatal size as soon as possible.
