Yesterday you could see a video in which a mother showed her belly four days after giving birth and commented that she was getting, or that she had intention to do it, because from the face with which she said it did not seem to finish following the recommendation, a girdle after childbirth that will help you lower your belly.
When my first child was born, several professionals recommended that my wife put on a girdle for a month, and she did it, with good results. With the other children, some recommended that he not wear a sash, and he did not, with good results. Given this dilemma, we will try to answer the question that many mothers will ask themselves: wear girdle after delivery, yes or no?
It is not proven that they help recover the figure
Returning to the video we saw yesterday, if you read the comments on YouTube you can see several mothers recommending the use of the belt to reduce the belly and recover the figure before.
But nevertheless, It is not proven that the use of a girdle after childbirth helps a woman recover her figure before (That is, those who have done well would probably have done well also not to use it), although it is true that putting on a girdle helps in the containment of the belly and gives a greater sense of security when it comes to doing according to what movements.
Use yes, abuse no
As I mentioned above, when we had our first child, more than six years ago, there were several people who recommended Miriam the use of a girdle, at least during the first month. Over time this recommendation has been disappearing for a very simple reason: if you use your abdomen and back muscles a lot, you don't exercise that much and the waist takes longer to have a fluid and reliable mobility.
It is as if after giving birth, to rest, a woman decided to live in a wheelchair (well, it is not the same, but I exaggerate to exemplify it). After the first month you will have very rested legs, but when it comes to walking again you will surely have many more problems than if you had walked every day a little more from the first day.
That is why it is now said that the girdle can be used a few days if the mother feels safer and more comfortable with her (she holds the belly, presses the abdomen back towards the body and holds the lower back), but not too many to What next all your muscles start working alone with the usual movements of the body and do not atrophy or accommodate the support provided by a girdle.
What if the woman gives birth by caesarean section?
If a woman gives birth by caesarean section it seems that the use of a girdle is even more advised, but The answer is the same. The first few days you can thank yourself very much, because the abdomen is not for much spree (normal considering that they have cut it), but after a few days it is better not to abuse a girdle so that, as if the woman did rehabilitation, the muscles go taking tone and elasticity and can, among other routine things, walk upright and ultimately make life more or less normal as soon as possible.
