When do you start wearing your postpartum belt after baby?

Question

I’ve heard so many different recommendations on when you start wearing the postpartum belt/girdle/waist trainer. When do you guys start wearing it and has it helped you get back to your “shape” quicker? Or does it not work at all and you’re just putting yourself through unnecessary discomfort 🤪

Answer

Ok so a pp belt and a waist trainer are two very different things. A standard pp belt can be worn pretty soon after but a waist trainer needs a doctor's clearance around 6 weeks pp.

Answer

I started wearing one when I got home from the hospital. So probably 3 days afterwards.

Answer

I just had baby this weekend and they gave me an abdominal belt in the hospital the next day after delivery and honestly I wear it most the time because it actually helps my belly feel better and in place.

Answer

Depends what delivery you had. After a C-section it actually helps you get mobile faster, so as soon as you're planning to get up you put it on.
