when is it ok to start wearing a body shaper after birth ??

Question

4 days post baby and I feel like I need to start wearing something to help suck my belly in.

When is it a good time to start wearing a body shaper ?

Any suggestions ??

Answer

I'd wait atleast 6 weeks. Give your body a little time to heal. It took 9 months to grow a baby and for your body to change, it's going to take more than a few days to get back to "normal".

Answer

I had 3 c sections and wore them immediately after birth

Answer

I wore my belly band at the hospital and for a few weeks after that, with that and breast feeding I was 5-6 lbs under my pre pregnancy weight between 2 and 4 months postpartum

Answer

You just had a baby. How you feel is up to you obviously but just try to appreciate what your body just went through, it was a tough job! You can start by eating a healthy diet with lots of vegetables and little refined carbs too, it will do wonders!

Answer

I started using mine the night I had my daughter. I highly recommend the one pictured! Yes it is a little pricey but it works wonders. It is comfy and the support is so good. I was back to my pre pregnancy weight in less then a month after giving birth.

Answer

I started wearing a postpartum support belly band about a week after my little guy was born. The support felt amazing, and I think it helped everything gonna be to feeling normal more quickly.

Answer

I wore mine right after I had my son. It helped me a lot and I was in my Pre pregnancy jeans by the end of the week. Put it on :)

Answer

Do they actually work? What are good ones? Are the like corsets and just pull your waist in?

Answer

If you feel comfortable then yes. If you feel uncomfortable wait a bit then start on it.

Answer

An abdominal binder is different then a belly shaper..binders can be worn right after c section ..anything to tight can cut off circulation..idk abt vaginal births tho just bunders as this is my 3 c section
