Got a belt after my delivery but honestly i have no idea how tight or how long to wear it. Scared of doing it wrong na. can someone tell me the right way pls?
I used a soft abdominal binder after my delivery, and it really helped support my back when I sat down to nurse. Just make sure you don't wear it so tightly that it puts pressure on your stomach, especially after meals.
I tracked my postpartum recovery using a great app, and it suggested wearing the belt starting from 1-2 weeks post-delivery if it's a normal birth. Position it low on your pelvis, wrapping it from bottom to top, but never wear it to sleep!
Ho na, postpartum belt wear karna kaafi helpful hota hai back support ke liye. Just wrap it snugly but not too tight around your lower abdomen, and remove it while eating or sleeping.
I have heard from my cousins that you should wear it just around your waist to support your back and help the uterus contract. They said it is best to start only after the doctor gives a go-ahead.
Before you buy or wear any post-pregnancy belt, please check with your gynac first. Wearing it too early, especially after a C-section, can affect your stitches and delay inner healing, so safety first!
