Had my delivery 3 weeks back, normal one. MIL got me a belt but im not sure how tight or how many hours to wear it. Thoda confused honestly, anyone who used it pls guide.
Haha, don't think that belt will magically melt your tummy in a week, I tried that! Use it mainly to support your weak back when holding the baby. Just wrap it snug, not so tight that u can't breathe or eat your meals!
Using a postpartum belt is great for back support, but timing is key. If u had a normal delivery, u can usually start after a few days, but for C-section, wait till your stitches heal completely. Always wear it comfortably and not too tight.
We traditionally use a soft cotton saree or cloth to tie the stomach gently at home. It is very safe and comfortable, but if u have any heavy pain or C-section pain, please stop immediately and ask your doctor first. Don't force your body.
Haan, u can use the belt but C-section hua hai toh please wait for 4-6 weeks na. Normal delivery me u can start within a week for good support. Just remember to take it off while sleeping and eating!
I haven't used one yet, but my sister told me she used a soft cotton belt after her delivery. She said it helped her feel supported while moving around. Maybe u can ask your doctor once before starting just to be safe.
