Tummy Tucker

klynncoxklynncox
in 1st Trimester
Although I love being pregers and cant wait to tell everyone I have to. I am a promotional model part time and want to work as long as possible but I am starting to gain weight and need a good piece of shapewear or a tummy cincher. First is something like a cincher safe to wear? And second are there any good ones that anyone can recommend?

    As far as I know, they are not safe to wear. I wouldn't do it.

    i wouldn't risk it. A girl from highschool wore one during her pregnancy and the baby had some mental retardation. I am not sure if it was becuase of that but I will thing the baby needs room to grow

    They aren't safe. Baby needs room to grow. If you restrict that room, your baby can have major health issues.

    Have you looked into maternity modeling? Work that baby bump! :)

    I wouldnt think it would be a huge deal to wear one especially in 1st tri when you dont really have a pg belly and the uterus is still low and tucked behind the pubic bone for a while. I would probably go with a shapewear vs. a tummy cincher and make sure its not so tight that its going to effect your breathing. I have this from Target that I wore post-partum and it was good b/c it just smoothed everything out and kind of sucked me in a little but not so much that it was uncomfortable to wear.

    The other reason I think they are safe is because Spanx makes a maternity line of shapewear. Maybe you could find something in this collection that would work.

    I thought actors and singers used shapewear regularly when filming during early pregnancy?  I think as long as you don't spend more than a few hours in it at a time, you should be okay, but I'm by no means a medical professional.  I'd ask your doctor's office.
