My delivery is next month and my saas keeps saying belly binding is a must after. Honestly im confused how to even do it properly and when to start. Anyone here did it, did it help with the loose tummy?
Binding your stomach is a good idea for support after delivery, especially for your back and abdominal muscles. Just make sure whatever you use is comfortable and doesn't put too much pressure. Your body needs to heal naturally, so don't try to force anything. Listen to your body and give it time, okay?
Stomach binding can be beneficial for some, offering core support and helping with posture post-delivery. There are many options, from traditional cloth wraps to modern abdominal binders. However, it's always best to discuss it with your doctor or physiotherapist first, especially if you had a C-section or any other complications, to ensure it's safe for you.
Listen, binding your stomach is a traditional thing, and it can give good support. You can use a simple cotton saree or a special postpartum belt. Just make sure it's snug but not too tight that it hurts or makes breathing difficult. Comfort is important.
For stomach binding, you don't need fancy stuff. We just used a long cotton dupatta or an old cotton saree, folded properly. My MIL used to help me wrap it. It gives a nice feeling of support, especially for the back, and helps tuck everything in gently. Just don't make it suffocatingly tight.
Oh, the desire to bind your stomach after pregnancy is so real! After carrying a baby for months, you just want to feel like yourself again. I remember using a soft cloth, and it felt so comforting and supportive. Just listen to your body and don't push too hard, mamas.
My mother insisted on binding my stomach after delivery, saying it helps everything settle back. She used a soft cotton cloth, not too tight, just enough to give support. It felt comforting and helped me feel a little more secure when moving around the house. It's a very old tradition that many families follow.
Oh, the quest for the 'flat stomach' after pregnancy, haha! It's like your belly has been through a party, and now it just wants to chill. I tried binding with a cloth, and it did feel kinda nice and supportive. Just don't expect miracles overnight, your body is still recovering from running a marathon... with a baby!
